ANAPHAZA by Ohad Naharin
This was a deep vulnerable part in the piece.
I remember reaching an heavy place during rehearsal for gettin so deep into myself through movement.
Moving takes all the layers out of me, leaves me naked, opens my heart and releases my tears or smiles, feeds my soul endlessly while i keep seeking for freedom and peace within me and around me 🕊️
We were in June 2023

Here we are again after 6 months bringing back BONDA where it all started, here to some moments shaped during our first residency here in HebelHalle Unterwegs Theatre together with @menion_music and my dear @tonialaterza_ capturing these memories. Excited to bring it all back here ❤️
As i try to trust time doing its things i do want to celebrate as much as i can how my body moves through it and by body i mean also what is happening in my brain and soul.
Feeling and feeding myself through movement, forgetting and remembering and at the same time playing with time as it plays with me.
Come TOMORROW if you around Heidelberg

We are honoured to welcome Gianni Notarnicola back to the ICE faculty.
Originally from Monopoli, Italy, Gianni is a celebrated performer, choreographer, and Gaga teacher.
A former member of both the Batsheva Ensemble and Batsheva Dance Company, he has worked with some of the world’s leading choreographers including Ohad Naharin, Sharon Eyal, and Noa Zuk.
His choreographic works have been presented internationally, with recent recognition at the 2024, 28th International Solo-Dance-Theatre Festival Stuttgart for his solo KAMA.
Gianni continues to create and perform globally, sharing his powerful artistic voice and movement language.
This video showcases his new creation BONDA—a duet that explores the intimate relationship between time and the body, a continuous interplay of memory, transformation, and presence—which will be part of this year’s Lugano repertoire.

Hello Paris 🇫🇷
While we keep meeting at @milk_shake_project for our Gaga people i wanted to invite you 21st March to the Gaga/dancers + improvisation & repertoire Workshop
“My work lives at the intersection of physical instinct, emotional landscapes, and rhythmic play.
I explore the body as a shapeshifting vessel — weapon and prayer, rebellion and seduction, collapse and rebirth.
Groove becomes spiritual, chaos reveals clarity, and stereotypes are tools to distort and free perception.
I treat technique as a tool for dismantling meaning, inviting the body into virtuosic brokenness and ecstatic transformation.
Through humor, intensity, and rhythm, I seek to create wild, emotionally charged journeys where movement is not fixed, but a living, breathing experience — a space for audiences to lose and find themselves over and over again.”
The workshop combines Gaga movement language with groove-based tools, improvisation and instinctive decision making, exploring how emotional states can generate movement material and personal movement language.
The workshop encourages curiosity, playfulness and risk-taking, inviting dancers to explore emotional physicality, rhythm and unpredictability in movement.

Lately I keep circling around the idea of timing — not just in dance, but in life.
We’re constantly told what the “right time” looks like:
the right moment to succeed, to be seen, to arrive, to belong.
Great timing.
Bad timing.
Too late.
On time ?
On time.
Too early.
But I’m beginning to understand that the only timing that matters is the one we claim for ourselves.
Time will build or break, but at least it should belong to us, not to an industry, not to expectations, not to other people’s clocks.
Working on BONDA has been teaching me this.
It’s teaching me to trust time as I’m living it — to be present, to stop forcing outcomes, to stop treating ambition like a god I have to worship. In dance, and in society, we’re trained to push, to strive, to chase. But if you push too hard, time pushes back. If you force the rhythm, it becomes a battle you lose before it starts.
If you let it breathe, though, it opens a space so large you can get lost in it — and maybe that’s where the truth hides.
Trying to move through the dance world alone, you quickly learn how much pressure there is to time your life perfectly:
to peak at the right moment, to be marketable, to be constantly available, constantly powerful, constantly improving.
Society repeats the same message on a bigger stage.
But I’m learning to listen inward instead of outward — to trust my own pace, even when it doesn’t match the rhythm people expect. To let time carry me rather than letting ambition block the flow.
I hope BONDA, even in its unfinished form, becomes a mirror — reflecting the ego, expectations, and wounds that the industry and society carve into us.
The wounds you get from trying to fit, prove, conquer, win, survive.
Because at the end of the day, what is time when power enters the room?
And what is power if it isn’t the power to stay alive, stay human, stay whole?
Honestly, I wrote all of this while sipping wine last night and trying to ignore my foot shouting about my tendinitis or sesamoiditis, did you know that ?
But maybe even that is a reminder:
the body always tells the truth before the world does.
With love
Gianni
Thank you Günter Krämmer for these beautiful photos 📸
I don’t know you guys, but I keep having goosebumps, tearing emotions from @rosalia.vt new album. This song especially is taking me to some transcendental places; I wanna cry and smile at the same time. It’s such a full space of rising emotions, all at once.
To accompany this emotional morning, I’m sharing some dramatic moments of mine from a few years ago on stage with @batshevadancecompany that reminds me that moment of fullness that i miss as performing became a rare thing to do these days but at least feels more precious and eventful i guess, just a brainstorm of thoughts and feelings as Rosalia takes me higher than the seventh heaven 🕊️
