The comment of the co-creator Claudia Sortino of Asd, Art, well-being and culture
“A unique occasion, in which every woman will be able to shed her social role and cross the threshold of the room being herself, simply a woman – stated Claudia Sortino, co-creator of the Festival for her belief that women possess a very strong power innate emotional. “When they know how to recognize it – she added –, overcoming obstacles and superstructures, they deploy their own self-irony and their ability to have fun, becoming a significant vehicle for messages of love”.
Asd, Art, Wellbeing and Culture is an association whose aim is the dissemination of art culture through dance, music and the psychophysical well-being of the person. Among other things, the Association hosts the Dance for Onchology project, completely free of charge, created and designed to help and support cancer patients.
