The Gallaratese Dancewalks *   Act 4

Gallaratese Periphery to Milano Center Dancewalking

7+5 km to finish the symbolink between Gallarate, Gallaratese and Milano

Solo

Foofwa had to finish this week’s project by dance-linking the Gallaratese Quartiere to the Fabbrica del Vapore where the workshops took place near the center of Milano ; then he finished this symbolink by tourist walking from the Fabbrica through Milano’s Centro storico and end up in front of the Teatro Alla Scala ! 

The elements for this Dancewalk were “CamMINAre”, “GrammelFO” and « Mila-no-Tourist »: the first part of the performance was dancewalking to the songs by the diva singer from Lombardy Mina ; the second was finding a way to dancewalk inspired by the grammelot as done by Dario Fo – who worked in Milano for so many years ; and the last was just being a pseudo tourist with a funny Dancewalk outfit 🙂


*   The Gallaratese Dancewalks are four dance acts around the idea of visiting, studying and highlighting the Gallaratese Quartiere, Municipio 8 in Milano through dance.

The project culminates on Saturday October 12th with an open to the public dance through the Quartiere.

Hosted and organised by Avventure in Elicottero Prodotti directed by Ariella Vidach

With the presence of some people from the past week’s workshops and people living in Municipio 8.

How to embody an area ?

During the week, Foofwa will walk / work / dancewalk through the quartiere. His presence in the public space would be one of a. observing, taking notes, photos and videos; b. trying a performing body in the midst of the urban setting; c. exchanging with the interested people on the street.

This way, Foofwa will accumulate audio&video&text artefacts throughout the week for inspiration or to be used for the final Dancewalk performance on Saturday October 12t.

Meeting people on the street will probably lead to some unexpected/unknown developments.

On Thursday 10 and Friday 11, in the morning, professional dancers affiliated wit Ariella Vidach will accompany Foofwa in this Dancewalk urban research.
