    Organicity

    Workshop with Luca Giacomoni

    Organicity is the vital current that flows under the skin, the flow of our impulses, the continuity of momentum. “Organic” does not mean “natural”, because behind the latter word lies our habits acquired through learning. On the contrary, organicity is a form of lymphatic intelligence that brings forth movement long before reason can judge, comment on, or endorse it. When a human being connects to the organic current, his attitude changes. It is no longer the mind that directs, and the body that obeys: intuition and action become one. Often the actor – that is, the human being in action – is the first to be surprised. Something unknown is revealed to him: he realizes that he is whole, while being in relationship with others. Not in control, but in the service of what is there. Decision-making unfolds at a speed that is not that of reflection, but that of an animal on the alert. This living, tangible experience has a new taste: it is me, and at the same time it is something else. The actor is no longer trying to express something, he is. Just like the song of a bird or the waves of the ocean whose presence can touch us, move us, or make us dream. So we can legitimately ask ourselves: is this form of intelligence, which is rarely stimulated in our culture, part of an invisible domain of human power in contact with the living? If we are to believe the actors’ testimonies, we are connecting with something “sacred”.
