Spring of a Dancer (the poem)
<p>Spring of a Dancer is a film, a book, a poem, a theatrical performance, a podcast, and a philosophical lecture on dance.</p><p>Wondering <strong>what is the point of dancing today </strong>is one of the questions that has been close to my heart since I first became involved in dance. <strong>Butoh</strong> dance invites us to the scandal of the flesh, because it rebels against the rules and norms that claim to tell us what movement is right and wrong, what is beautiful and ugly, to the point of reminding us that even <strong>the line between what is alive and what is dead is not so clear</strong>.</p><p>Spring of a Dancer is a hymn to the timeless rhythm that pulses through all things: the fire that gives birth to the stars. Invoking his prayer to the Sun, indifferent to our questions, the dancer sheds the skin of the mundane, echoing the ancient wisdom of the serpent: “If you remain under your skin, you miss most of what moves the heavens”. As the Great Crow beats its wings and Janus whispers to us to open the door, FÜYA urges us to question the meaning of pain: "Life is hard. All this pain can destroy you. Yet, in dance, grace blossoms like the first flowers of spring, ephemeral and eternal. For this reason, it is worth dancing today."</p><p>I invite you to <a href="https://youtu.be/SPHPj5SRskE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">watch the trailer for my film Spring of a Dancer on YouTube</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/4aBuDF3" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">read my new book Spring of a Dancer on Amazon Books</a>.</p>

The dance of the stars
<p>"All things were born from a single fire" say the fragments of the Chaldean Oracles. In fact, without the splendour of <strong>the dance of the Sun</strong>, not only would there be no light for our planet, but the solar system could not even have formed. The Sun is at the centre of our experience of the rhythm of existence. It distinguishes day from night, brings the fruits of the earth to maturity, controls the cycle of the seasons, and contributes to the water cycle. We can say with certainty that everything that happens on planet Earth depends on its position in relation to the star we call the Sun.</p><p>I invite you to <a href="https://youtu.be/SPHPj5SRskE" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">watch the trailer for my film Spring of a Dancer on YouTube</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/4aBuDF3" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">read my new book Spring of a Dancer on Amazon Books</a>.</p>

What is the point of dancing today?
<p>Wondering <strong>what’s the point of dancing today</strong> is one of the questions that has been close to my heart since I started to get involved in dance. Just as <strong>butoh dance</strong> invites us to desecrate conventions and explore the areas that question the boundaries between masculine and feminine, life and death, grace and vulgarity; so <strong>philosophical thought</strong> invites us to question our beliefs, preparing us to enjoy questioning and criticising, rather than being satisfied with the answers we are able to provide today or that our ancestors gave us. Only philosophy, in fact, asks itself the question about truth and incessantly continues its critical exercise, without ever being satisfied with the answers that gradually emerge from this research. To avoid remaining imprisoned in our own little world, butoh dance and philosophy call us to go <strong>beyond ourselves </strong>and ask ourselves those fundamental questions that our ancestors have been asking themselves since the time of the cave: <strong>who are we, where do we come from, where are we going?</strong></p><p>I invite you to <a href="https://youtu.be/SPHPj5SRskE">watch the trailer for my film Spring of a Dancer on YouTube</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/4aBuDF3">read my new book Spring of a Dancer on Amazon Books</a>.</p>
