The employees of the Communication and Organization Departments of UBI Banca met the artist Marinella Senatore during two days of workshops to discuss the themes of empathy, collaboration and non-verbal communication.

During the training days, the groups explored different non-verbal communication techniques under the supervision of Marinella Senatore and the guidance of the dancers and choreographers Nandhan Molinaro and Elisa Zucchetti of the collective ESPZ (Milan-Berlin) and the theatre actress Maria Fonzino (Paris). In particular, through the mediation of the tutors, the participants analyzed the physical and verbal expressions most frequently used in the workplace (such as looking into one’s eyes, shaking hands, crossing one’s arms), to rephrase them into a choreographic work. The result was the semi-autonomous generation of a series of choreographies.
