Dancing Enneagram

The Enneagram is a powerful insight tool that can help us see character patterns that have a major influence on our lives. These inner drives block the natural radiance of our being, determining how we see the world and relate to others. In order to reach a deep self-knowledge, we need to know the masks we wear. The Enneagram speaks of three basic patterns acting on the physical body (anger), the mental body (fear) and the emotional body (hysteria), each mechanism having an introverted and an extroverted variant in addition to the basic pattern. The nine masks through which we see the world became the starting point for the nine parts of the work. And, like the enneagram, three basic sections are accompanied by two variations, corresponding to the introverted and extroverted versions of the basic pattern. The order of the parts of the work has been chosen primarily according to the principle of contrasts: Lazy seeker, Daddy's little girl, Paranoic observer, Efficient workaholic, Uptight perfection, Everchanging idealist, Drama Queen, Interiorized nonconformist, Bad boys and girls. The dancing component is intended to expressively enrich the content of each part.

Dancing Enneagram is dedicated to Ionut Stefanescu, the Flaut Power ensemble and the dancer Cristina Lilienfeld.
