WHO IT’S FOR
La Pietra is for anyone who longs for restoration and reconnection to the world that holds us. No formal dance or art training is required. Just a willingness to listen, feel, and be transformed. Whether you come to soften, ignite, remember, or begin again, you will be held, in community, in practice, and in the quiet magnificence of the land.
Archaeo Choreology
Archaeochoreology is a somatic and performative research platform founded by Francesca Mariano and conceived as a transdisciplinary space that interweaves body-based practices, landscape studies, and forms of embodied knowledge transmission.
Through workshops, immersive retreats, site-specific practices, and collaborations with communities and local organizations, the project investigates the relationships between body, memory, and environment, approaching the landscape as a living archive and a space of co-creation.
Over the years, Archaeochoreology has collaborated with international institutions and platforms, including Museo Madre, the University of California, Nextones, Nuova Atlantide and many more, developing formats that range from performance studies to radical pedagogy and participatory processes oriented toward the creation of temporary communities and situated care practices.
