The body's journey
The company Pas de Dieux, co-directed by Leela Alaniz and Won Kim, proposes a year of revitalizing creativity through the rediscovery of the body as a path of research and creation. In addition to the various technical workshops proposed throughout the year, the program also proposes theoretical reflection concerning the attitudes of the actor/dancer immersed in his work, therefore opening the possibility to create with the body, spirit and sentiments as a part of a continual work of self-discovery.

Throughout the 2009-10 year, the company Pas de Dieux will invite several renowned artists engaged in the corporeal research for the actor/dancer:

biography

Matteo Belli earned a degree in modern literature at the University of Bologne with a thesis in Italian literature entitled “Rime giullaresche e popolari d’Italia’ di Vincenzo De Bartholomaeis” (The popular songs of the troubadours in Italy according to Vincenzo de Bartholomaeis). From 1989, after finishing his studies in literature and music, he began to work in the theatre, at first as a “mime-fanatasy”, then as an actor. The relation between music and literature became more and more profound with each performance. The notable works include: “Genti, intendete questo sermone ” (monologes of the medieval and modern troubadours), “Concerto dal VI libro dell’Eneidi” (these two works appeared in 2000), “Ora X: Inferno di Dante” (2001), “Marzabotto” (2008), wrote in collaboration with Carlo Lucarelli. His teaching activities have become a strong focus during these last years. His research of the voice of the actor has produced among other a CD-ROM “Soliste Orchestra. The voice in the theatre of Matteo Belli” (2009)
