seconday-school workshop
24 and 25 March, 10 and 15 April
Liceo Artistico Statale Emilio Greco, Catania
for students
with Francesca Santamaria
This workshop offers an inside look into the creative process of ‘GOOD VIBES ONLY (beta test)’. Participants will first engage through physical exposure to choreographic materials, followed by a viewing of the performance — a work selected by the 2025 Vetrina della giovane danza d’autore, an initiative of the Anticorpi XL Network. Finally, the experience develops into a theoretical-practical path reflecting on graphic and visual communication. The aesthetic of the GOOD VIBES ONLY project is intertwined with an introduction to the professional roles orbiting the world of performing arts.
The workshop is designed for class 4E of the ‘Emilio Greco’ Art High School in Catania; the performance, scheduled for March 25th, is also open to other classes within the Institute.

‘GOOD VIBES ONLY (beta test)’ is the first chapter of the larger project ‘GOOD VIBES ONLY’.
The work is structured as a beta test—the first phase of software testing in real usage conditions by actual users. The project investigates the concept of scrolling and, borrowing the structure of a free trial, questions the relationship between performativity and consumption.
