Using breath, heartbeat and movement, participants will discover how to create spontaneous sound dialogues and musical forms.

On Saturday 9 November, Arnolfo Borsacchi (Audiation Institute) will address the topic of singing during pregnancy and in the first year of life, in the meeting entitled Nascere in musica. Music is in fact the result of an ancient behavior that speaks of mutual care, belonging, survival. Already when we live in our mother's belly we expect to meet her. How can we satisfy this expectation of children? Also on Saturday, double appointment with Libri cantati, libri narrati curated by Francesca Venturoli (Piccola musica). Together, we will try to discover if a book can only be read or can also be sung, guiding parents and children in search of a new way of perceiving books through the sung voice and played music.
