Synaxis in progress

How does a set of bodies meet in a specific space or place? Will they sync in a common thing? Will they be able together to create dances that capture old and new forms of collective expression?

The project attempts to emphasize the importance of bringing people together in urban centers through artistic practices that build shared experiences. As a counter to the complexity and loneliness of modern life, “SYNAXIS in progress” invites us to connect with nature in a different way, returning our attention to the body, the voice, the rhythm and the landscapes they create.
