Wu is a sound that reminds us the vibration of the Earth. In Chinese Wu is the emptiness, while Wu wei is the way of acting without acting, letting flow the nature of things and our nature, so that it can shape itself in the best ways, finding harmony in the relationship with the Universe. The Wu were shaman-woman from ancient China, they danced dressed of bids plumes and bells, healers of the Spirit; they could make rain arrive. An heritage leaved by them are the art of acupuncture, of water divining and meditation. Wu, the dancer, is a voyager, that goes across the space opening inner places, traces ways and creates signs, grooves, that awaken ancient memories, archetypes without time. Celebrates, while dancing, the love union between the earth and the sky; receives the Earth strength, her depths and her transforming energy, that destroys to create again; dances demons, becomes water purification and fertility. Like a nomad migrates: her home is her body, retraces ancient streets and subtle energy lines, weaves fibres, traces in the emptiness.  In her act, Wu give form to her inner maps, meetings points, crossing or places where to stop and stand, signs the ground to create memory. Traces of Wu remain in the wish to fly and migrate of each one of us.
