Body and landscape experience Lecce with a choreographer
Allow me to show you Lecce in an unique and creative way. A fun tour of the Baroque city center focused on recognizing the beauty and poetry hidden in the landscapes and architectures by experiencing the places 'on your own body’ and obtaining unique shots of your vacation. In my work as a choreographer I have always been fascinated by the relationship between architecture and body, landscape and movement. The experience is the result of years of observation and experimentation and is a little taste of what I often do with my students in choreographic composition or urban dance workshops. While showing you my favourite places within the old city walls I will lead you in a game that implies a simple way to 'insert' your body in a landscape by concentrating on the lines and shapes around you and putting it in a interesting frame in photos. THIS IS A GROUP TOUR. UP TO 9 PEOPLE MAY BE JOINING YOU. please contact me if you have any type of doubt or request
