Description of opportunity:
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL –  7th EDITION from July 19th to August 1st

ALTREFRONTIERE International Dance Festival was born from the desire to give visibility to a concentration of different but compatible energies in the international context of dance, apparently distant but united by the constant research through body language.
It is the idea of breaking down borders; being that the boundaries of the body and the mind, or those of a country or his culture.
Body language communicates without words, it is a universal language that can bring everyone together, like music.This festival starts with the desire to share and exchange, with the aim of expanding the information about the many methods of investigation and to have an ever wider view of the creative panorama of dance.

Variety is nothing but growth.
Knowledge and exchange are precious tools for our inner growth.

During two weeks, the Festival offers a unique summer intensive with classes and workshops given by internationally renowned teachers.
The Festival is in the middle of Maremma nature, hosted by the Agriturismo Podere Novo 153 (località Ripacci, Scansano, IT).

The seventh edition of ALTREFRONTIERE is dedicated to Friction.

Friction as tension, attrition, contrast. As rapid rubbing that releases accumulation, as opposition that generates consistency and volume, as a binding system capable of regulating engine speed.

This year’s festival brings to light the admitting of choice, change and realisation: if we have set ourselves in motion, it is time to choose the speed and assume the direction. If we are ready to listen to the surrounding frequencies, the friction between solid bodies merges into the generation of a constant and harmonious rhythm – just as the rubbing of two stones leads to the ignition of fire.

Fire is light, which makes visible what could not be seen. It is heat, which breaks the freeze of isolation and rounds out shapes. It is transformation, which changes the state of past remain
