Dance therapy
Maria Fux Method
 w/ Pio Campo
31 Oct to 2 Nov 2025, Feel2B (Lisboa)
 

For the second time, Pio Campo is coming to Lisbon to share his deeply transformative work. The first time it was a very strong encounter and people asked for more. We listened and so this time it will be a more immersive workshop, from Friday to Sunday, to go far and deep.

"I carry with me a baggage that constantly renews itself within me, in the ongoing listening to life in constant transformation. I am enchanted by the search for details that reveal vastness; the attentive gaze toward the small nuances that announce new visions, other perspectives."
 

​​​Dancetherapy is a way of reappropriating body language through creative stimuli that favor the conjunction of movement with the unique and living “feeling” of each human being. This approach provides images capable of generating movements that are never stereotyped or pre-established, thus allowing the flow of a unique and original creation, totally linked to feeling. Maria Fux, of whom Pio Campo is a direct disciple, was an internationally famous dancer and choreographer who dedicated her entire life to a dance that was a bridge of communication with any human being regardless of physical or psychic limits, background or geographical areas. The Maria Fux Method is based on the possibility of a change that allows one to step out and gradually let go of rigidity, fear and instability, regardless of their psychic, physical or social state.

The human body is naturally predisposed to movement. The skin, the muscles, the bone structure are a constant invitation to dance and hold a deep capacity for expression, communication and relationship. When, due to illness, trauma, depression or loss of interest, we move away from ourselves and enter the nebulous fields of “not feeling”, dance therapy is a movement of affirmation and recovery of our identity, pleasure, balance... of creation. This practice does not replace clinical, medical or psychological interventions, but complements them by taking other paths linked to affectivity, sensitivity and emotion. In the years dedicated to understanding and deepening this language, Pio Campo was able to cross geographic spaces, age groups, cultures, physiologies and social conditions. He tries to understand the common root that connects each human being to their capacity for expression beyond external and internal barriers of any nature.

"It is undoubtedly an endless journey, but I feel that, in man’s secret and common desire to return to the house of Love, dancetherapy indicates a direction. What guides me is having met human beings that I saw breathing again after long, sometimes infinite, apneas."

This event is aimed at anyone over 18 years old who wants to have the experience of awakening the creative potential that is the internal source of actions, movements, choices. This is, therefore, an experiential event, not a training. It is an introduction to an itinerary of discoveries and possibilities in the dance. For those who are eventually interested in training, we suggest visiting the website www.dancaterapia.org where you will find all the necessary information.

"How can one live and truly exist without art?

Without the art of seeing, perceiving, listening…

Dancing, for me, is all this and so much more.

It is to encounter the mystery and the gift.

It is to rediscover love,

even when it seems to have disappeared…"
