Introduction to the research process developed with the fishing community.
VALERIE TAMEU
From winter meetings with local fishermen to studying their physical movements on the water - how a desire to share a moment of physical experimentation with the Chioggia community came to life.
With contributions from Chioggia fishermen.
5:30 PMMonastero di Santa Caterina Courtyard
Movement session led by Valerie Tameu, in dialogue with the fishermen's archive of gestures, memories and relationships with the sea.
VALERIE TAMEU: PROVE TECNICHE DI TRASMISSIONE (Test Transmission) — Bodily practices for tuning in to the physical memory of those who fish every day.

Free of charge, places limited. Booking recommended: bogiaisso@gmail.com or 3517375091.
✨ Reflections by Valerie Tameu, who will lead the experience
How does the posture of a person who has spent forty years on a boat change?
How does another sense of balance develop? How does a crew coordinate almost without speaking? How does a body learn to anticipate the sea?
How can a body encounter the experience of another body without imitating it?
The body becomes a living archive, holding on to movements and to the relationships that generated them. Transmission does not mean handing over a technique or teaching a gesture. It means creating a space in which certain deep qualities of that experience can pass through other bodies.
Experiencing the effort of pulling heavy loads, the instability of a foothold, the need to coordinate with someone else. It's not about becoming a fisherman. It's a matter of coming into contact with a bodily condition that a specific practice makes visible.
The research therefore moves within a space of translation. A knowledge belonging to a community meets other bodies and, in that encounter, changes shape. It is not appropriated, but listened to and transformed.
What interests me is that point of passage where the audience can recognise the origin of a movement without seeing a reconstruction. Understanding that something comes from fishing, without seeing a representation of fishing.
The body becomes the place where a knowledge goes on living — not because it is preserved unchanged, but because it can generate new forms of relationship.
