I am a student of the contemporary dance course for adults held by Barbara Friedrich and her collaborator Federica Antonelli of Officine Morghen. I have known the manager of the gym for several years, long before the opening of the beautiful space in Bovisa; I followed her in her dance courses, having always deeply appreciated her professionalism, extensive knowledge, empathy, availability, creativity, as well as the passion and care she has always shown in teaching dance. Over the years I have also taken part, with the "adults" dance group, in the end-of-year shows, organized by Barbara and her collaborators. On these occasions we adults danced with the little students, sharing moments of great joy and fun: the personal expressive methods, left free to emerge without the imposition of models, were able to emerge through the skilful work carried out by Barbara aimed at developing collaboration and respect for oneself and others.
This is my experience over many years with Officine Morghen.
