SensAction launches crowdfunding for a new dance space in Venice
In Venice, a new association named SensAction has been established by dance experts Aida Vainieri, Francesca Noia, Foscarina Ferrazzuto, and Rosangela Saputo. The title merges Sensa, derived from Fondamenta della Sensa, with action, highlighting their dedication to dance and movement. Their vision includes transforming an old warehouse in Cannaregio into a vibrant cultural center that will provide classes in choreographic dance, theater-dance, yoga, and programs for both children and seniors. SensAction seeks to encourage creative collaboration and assist dance professionals. To fund a dance floor and changing room, they initiated a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, aiming for €15,000 by the end of May, with contributions starting at €10. Their motto reinterprets Bruce Lee's words for Venice: "Do you want to be with us like water, free, without limits, versatile?"
