Placebo Dances is an atlas of body based practices in the search of pleasure and states of graces.
Placebo Dances, by questioning the positioning of bodies in the world, lends itself to become an open relational device to be developed in different forms: workshops and moments of sharing with the communities (professionals and non-prof and people interested in the topic) through both a body based approach and a theoretical level; performative moments and rituals to generate a connection between observed and observer, between moving and static bodies, seeking a closeness and an intimacy that makes our being in the world more erotic.
