Expanding Our Perception Box Through Dance – A metaphor by Elizabeth R.Koch – Internation Training by Fabio & Antonino

What if movement could reprogram the way we see the world?

The Perception Box, a concept introduced by Elizabeth R. Koch, describes how our beliefs, biases, and personal narratives shape our reality. When this box becomes rigid, it limits us. But when we expand it, it becomes a space of transformation — of openness, insight, and reinvention.

That’s exactly what DANCE offers: Dynamic, Adaptive, Non-linear, Creative, and Embodied, it reconnects us with the spirit of childhood exploration — a space for curiosity, emotional expression, and play.

From May 26 to 30, 2025, choreographers Fabio Dolce & Antonino Ceresia led an immersive five-day training in Romania, hosted by the GAMMA INSTITUT. Specifically designed for this European project, the training brought together 9 organizations from 7 European countries, all driven by a shared goal: to explore how dance can expand perception, strengthen connection, and challenge bias.

🌍 A fully embodied European journey — rooted in movement, play, reflection, and transformation.
