MINDFUL MOVEMENT EXPLORATION
A new philosophy of motion
• • •
Inhabiting one’s own body offers a profound opportunity to connect with oneself and the reality of the present moment. It is not an end in itself, but a magnificent beginning. It serves as a helm, allowing us to steer a course toward new experiences. At the same time, it acts as an anchor, enabling us to remain centered and quiet to observe the sea of possibilities from the deck of our ship.
Living in the present moment allows us to “open without opening” doors, such as those to creativity, deep listening, or intuition, as well as others that lead to unseen rooms and to unexplored views and seas. To achieve this, one must fully immerse oneself beyond thought, diving under the waves of the mind.
M.M.E. is a contemporary dance method conceived - but also spontaneously born - by Matteo Mascolo in 2018. It aims at a deep quest: the union of body, soul and mind. It offers a unique way to experience dance, transforming it into an opportunity to interact with whatever presents itself to our awareness, moment by moment.
The sessions involve guided improvisation and are conducted creatively, ensuring a fresh approach each time; they may also include moments of seated meditation. Typically lasting an hour and a half, the practices are open to everyone, from those with no technical background who simply wish to dance, to professionals seeking to push their boundaries. On each occasion there is a judgment-free environment, a space that fosters each student's progress.

I had the chance to attend one of Matteo's class (Mindful Movement Exploration) in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. A Beautiful and liberating experience! He knows how to smoothly guide exercises to reconnect you with your body, your feelings, and dance from it. Overall a wonderful dancer with a calm, grounded presence, and an inspiring contemporary dancing style. Thank you Matteo!!

Matteo è una persona che sa consigliarti e aiutarti senza giudicarti e che sa metterti a tuo agio. Il lavoro con lui è molto stimolante e interessante, sia fisicamente che mentalmente. Grazie al lavoro di improvvisazione in Mindful Movement Exploration, ogni pratica diventa una scoperta del proprio movimento. Nonostante non ci conoscessimo ho trovato da subito una bella intesa.

En cuanto entré en la sala, sentí una energía meditativa y espiritual, incluso solo en la forma en que Matteo saluda. Cuando empezamos a bailar, me llevó más allá de inmediato. No importa si no recuerdas los pasos, desde el principio sientes que quieres seguir los movimientos con el corazón. Me emocioné mucho en este lugar mágico que te transporta al arte de la vida. Gracias.
