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.
Research
My research focuses on felt body, present body, ancestrality. We are all interconnected beings, so what effect do we have on others? What responsibility do we have as creatures who are part of a collective? My first authorial work, still in an embryonic stage, will be dedicated to analyzing the human dichotomy: creation/destruction, starting from the archetypes inherent within us. This duality is fundamental for people, Destruction and Creation are closely linked because without one there is no other. The present dichotomy in its most positive sense sees Destruction as a basic element of transformation and rebirth, but this is not always the case.
Collabs
Some of the latest productions in which I danced, between theaters and unconventional places:
Teaching practice
My classMy 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.
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.
