Embodied Map Tools (EMT) is an urban mapping and performance art method devised by visual artist, researcher and performer Alessandro Carboni. EMT uses the body as a choreographic instrument to map events happening in an urban setting, in their geometrical and temporal extensions. Using a variety of languages such as visual arts, experimental cartography, choreographic scores, and performing arts this workshop introduces participants to methods of transforming experiences of observation into embodied experiences of urban space.

Alessandro Carboni is an interdisciplinary artist performer and researcher whose projects explore the complex relationships between body maps and the city. His performance works are mappings representing places that reshape and weave according to different stages stimulated by specific urban contingencies. His projects are supported by Formati Sensibili, an independent production company that shapes projects involving arts, science, architecture and education.
