TUNG| What is it that moves? | MASTERCLASS with Cristina Caprioli
Two days of collaborative work exploring technique and choreography as a language of the body, science and politics in a dialogue with contemporary reality.
Where: La CAP Re|Hub, Via Capacciola, 178, 53048 Sinalunga SI
When: November 7 & 8 2026
Deadline: September 30th 2026
TUNG in Swedish means “heavy.” TUNGA means “tongue.” Through a
process of physical and mental warm-up, creation, composition, and
theoretical reflection on the physical material produced, participants
engage with the present through choreographic practice, understood as
a liminal space for the production of meaning and relationships. This
reflection expands from dance to objects, from conditions to the
world.
The masterclass is part of Ten Calls – One Year of Candid Dancing,
conceived and curated by Cristina Caprioli: an in-depth program
dedicated to choreography, structured as a series of meetings,
sessions, and events exploring its linguistic, scientific, and
political implications, as well as its relationship to contemporary
reality.
Cristina Caprioli is one of the most established and internationally
acclaimed choreographers on the Swedish dance scene. In the mid-1990s,
she founded the independent organization Ccap, through which she
produces performances, installations, films, objects, publications,
and other choreographic works, while also leading long-term
interdisciplinary research projects. Her choreographic practice is
distinguished by precision, complexity, and a highly refined body
technique. All of her productions challenge normative formats and the
exchange economies of the performing arts sector.
From 2008 to 2013, she taught choreographic composition at the DOCH
School of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, where she developed methods
and formats for artistic research. She has received numerous awards
and grants and has played a significant role in shaping critical
discourse in the fields of dance and choreography in Sweden. In 2024,
she was awarded the Leone d'oro for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice
Biennale Danza.
