The Fundamentals of Movement by Daniel Proietto

The Fundamentals of Movement A film by Daniel Proietto The Fundamentals of Movement explores movement as a practice of attention, presence, and healing. Presented as both a book and a film, the work approaches movement not as something to perform, but as energy allowed to move through the body. Through mindful and intentional practice, it examines how movement can restore physical awareness, emotional clarity, and a conscious relationship to space. The film offers a practical, embodied entry into the work, while the book provides reflection and context. Designed to be experienced together, they form a unified practice grounded in perception and lived experience.

Romance del Diablo

Romance del Diablo is a cinematic solo choreographed by Omar Saravia and performed by Daniel Proietto, marking twenty years of artistic collaboration between the two artists. Set to Astor Piazzolla’s composition of the same name, the work approaches tango not as form, but as tension — between control and surrender, resistance and inevitability. The body moves at the edge of balance, carrying gesture as impulse rather than ornament. Filmed at cheLA in Buenos Aires, the industrial architecture enters the choreography as an active condition, shaping rhythm, proximity, and presence.
