Over Dance arrives in Milan: from December 3, performances and initiatives dedicated to longevity

OVER DANCE is the project conceived by CCN/Aterballetto to investigate the relationship between dance and longevity in contemporary society. The scientific partner of the project is the Ravasi Garzanti Foundation, which is entirely dedicated to research and policies for aging.

The OVER DANCE project is the framework for a range of actions undertaken since 2022 on the theme of body transformation and its perception as a vehicle for aesthetics. The December stop in Milan is the continuation of this journey, an opportunity filled with events and opportunities for discussion on a central issue in the contemporary world.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3: AN OVER 60 LAB AT SPAZIO MAGNETE

On December 3, we will be guests at Spazio Magnete, in the heart of the Adriano district, for an entire afternoon dedicated to the project:

  • From 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM / OVER DANCE LAB – Free workshop for people over 60 led by Claudia de Smet, assistant choreographer for Angelin Preljocaj.

The evening features ten senior performers (aged 65 to 79), bringing their experience to the stage to reflect on a fundamental question: for those who dance, what is the true age of the body?

DECEMBER 5: ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION AFTER OVER DANCE

Tuesday, December 5, at Teatro Franco Parenti, the performance will be preceded by a meeting dedicated to the project:

From 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM / “After Over Dance” – Perspectives and developments for new models of Cultural Welfare dedicated to the relationship between art and longevity
