con-formanceMarta CiappinaDiary of a dance worker

An intimate and fragmented look into the creative process of three great choreographers, through the notes of a dancer who explores the complex relationship between authors and performers.

Diario di una operaia della danza (Diary of a dance worker) appears as a confidential reading among the papers of private notebooks, containing notes produced during the creative process of choreographic productions written by three distinct authors: Marco D’Agostin, Michele Di Stefano, Alessandro Sciarroni.

The notebooks, scratched by the drafting of technical instructions and dramaturgical notes, and by the traces of a dancer’s loquacious restlessness, guard the delightful contradictions that eroticize the relationship between author and performer. A daily register that tries to delve deep into an inexplicable discourse full of rebuses, an assembly line with delicate gears that educates the interpreter’s equipment over time.
The interpreter walks slowly and judiciously, stumbles and somersaults, always smiling shows her teeth and spies with admiration the inventiveness of the authors finding consolation in their irresistible ingenuity.
