Ginevra Benussi
Dancer & Movement Researcher
Dance has been the language of the human body and soul since time immemorial. Since primitive times, dance has been a means of communication, an intimate and powerful expression. This art is intrinsic to our nature and continues to be an integral part of our existence.
After her contemporary academic training, she worked in Italy and abroad for theatrical productions and performances in unconventional places.
Work
I have created three performances. * REHA: What would happen if Rhea—the primordial Titaness and daughter of Gaia—were to wake up in today's world? The performance embodies her awakening, her despair, and her hope. * ECDYSI: The metamorphosis of a body exploding because it can no longer contain itself within its own skin. The performance offers a glimpse into this process: shedding the skin that confines us. *FOMO (in development): I am currently working on a performance centered on the theme of FOMO.
Teaching practice
My teaching practice moves through contemporary dance, body research and experimentation. I propose workshops and classes for children and adolescents, as well as advanced training and research practices for dancers. My work explores the body as a constantly evolving space, where movement can become a tool for discovery, expression and connection.
With younger bodies, I am interested in awakening curiosity and imagination through contemporary dance, play and physical exploration. With dancers, I focus on presence, awareness, listening and the possibility of questioning and expanding the body’s movement patterns. I am interested in creating spaces where technique meets experimentation, and where research becomes a way of developing a personal relationship with movement.
For me, teaching is an exchange: a practice of sharing tools, questions and experiences through which each body can discover new possibilities of moving, sensing and being present.
Collabs
Some of the latest productions in which I danced, between theaters and unconventional places:
My app: Balley®
After covid I developed a dance inspired home workout app. The classes develop a healthy perception with the body, dedicating to its strengthening and flexibility. The girls registered (+2000 at the moment) are people fascinated by the harmony of the dancer's body or people who danced when they were young. Balley is thus the rediscovery of a sweet and powerful world, which roots the body and makes the heart soar.
