Interactive Italian Body Language Show with Luca Vullo | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join the IIC San Francisco for an exclusive and interactive live show about the art of Italian hand gestures and body language led by Sicilian filmmaker and artist Luca Vollo.

Free, but an RSVP is requested.

Italians express themselves through body language and hand gestures. But did you know that these complicated hand-gestures actually have meanings? Italians use around 250 gestures a day to communicate.

And any gesture can actually be translated into words and concepts. Their body language can express character traits, feelings, even insults. So why do Italians speak with their hands? Can Italians speak without using them?

Director and Producer Luca Vullo will entertain us with a fun hands-on show on the power and the magic of Sicilian and Italian body language.

You will learn common hand gestures, how to use body language throughout basic conversations, how to express feelings and emotions through the body, face and hands, and in general, all the symbols and gestures you will need while travelling throughout Italy.

Don’t miss this excellent occasion to explore more Italian culture and to learn to speak like an Italian: with your hands and body! It will be a joyful and fun evening where you will discover this unique and peculiar aspect of the Italian language.
