Rebirth

Music: Bill Wither / Length:10 min / Photo by Clarissa Fattoruso
Through visual art, physical movement and spoken word we analyze and express how every day we're pushed and condemned to transform, to change, to evolve both mentally, emotionally even through the smallest detail in our look. Change doesn't have to be negative though: it can lead to hope, to a complete Rebirth.
Clarissa had the opportunity to study with many choreographers from the contemporary scene, such as Nederlands Danse Teather , Forsyth , Batsheva, Spellbound Contemporary Ballet and more. Giorgia recently she performed at the "Danza Heights Festival" and at the "Choreographer's Carnival Ball 2016" and she was featured in the movie "Waiting in the wings:The Musical" and in the music video: " Hype Williams Video."

The BRIDGE#2 project is a reflection on identities, on borders, on welcome, on exclusion.
By connecting the past to the future, weaving one period through another, the Bridge as metaphoric element is an overview of the flow of time, leaving behind the uncertainty, violence and loss of community, bringing over the continuity and durability of life.

The piece is a form of social protest against mistreated, inhuman bodies. Inhuman borders, inspired by the text "One Way" by De Luca, it is a physical and psychological journey; The piece brings on stage human brutality mixed with the strength of men and women labelled as "immigrants" and thus incapable of crossing the border to start a better life. It is not a house nor the nation which allow us to work, it is simply the land.

Chair|Bell|Tape is an improvisational study designed to capture the internalized constructs and societal impact of sociological Stockholm Syndrome in straight, white women. The work specifically employs one chair, a roll of tape, a bell, and two performers. It is never repeated, and each study simultaneously stands as a continuation of the previous study as well as an isolated work. Chair|Bell|Tape is a live component of a larger research project and work for film.
Sarah Nagle & Justin Ross have been creating work and dancing together since 2013. Ross was hired by Jessica Taylor|DAMAGEDANCE as Nagle's partner in the company and the rest was history. They have performed together with DAMAGEDANCE and Kyle Rostan's UrbanHumans, and have taught various workshops to young pre-professionals and established artists in improvisation, composition, partnering, and finding the inner artist

Dance meets sculpture and place, inspired by Buddhist concepts that derive from wabi-sabi, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection. Perfect Broken explores the geometry of the body, physical meditation and ritual, delivering the dancers into authentic moments of exchange and engagement. The body engaged in concentrated task opens itself to the poetry of error, while charcoal, delicately held by the dancers as they move, becomes an extension of the choreography, offering both the paper and the skin as a realtime canvas, an artifact, of the dance, a patina of memory imprinted on the body.
Renata Sheppard is a choreographer, CMA, and scholar who has lived and worked in the US, Europe, and Asia. As a Fulbright Scholar, Henry Luce Scholar, Kate Neal Kinley Fellow, and US Embassy Artist Research grantee, she has been recognized for her innovative engagement of dance across discipline. She uses elements of body, architecture, materials, light, projection, and sound in her choreographic "living sculptures” which often happen in unexpected, site specific locations or on the screen. She continues to pioneer the way that dance and body intelligence intersect with research, social media, human behavior and public interactives. She has presented internationally in Italy, France, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Tunisia, India, Taiwan, Korea, Australia, Canada, and throughout the US and lives between the USA where she is artistic director of Experimental Film Virginia and Italy where she works with Balletto Teatro di Torino.
