DANCE FOR AN IDEAL CITY

The docufilm Dance for An Ideal City is a project which tells the different ways of experiencing dance in public places and through different languages, developed in Athens, Brussels, Rome and Reggio Emilia.A video-story, signed by director Daniele Costa and written by art critic Nicolas Ballario, which focuses on the possibility of reinterpreting urban places through contemporary dance, especially with the MicroDanze project by Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto (one of the most prestigious contemporary dance companies in Italy and the first and only Italian National Choreographic Centre), through interviews with artists and curators (including choreographer Angelin Preljocaj, art historian Angela Vettese, visual-artist Gian Maria Tosatti, art curators Nadja Argyropolou and Costanza Meli and FND/Aterballetto director Gigi Cristoforetti). These small danced fragments, performed by both the company’s dancers and amateur dancers, bring out a landscape of infinite variables and the design of a movement that takes place in a conceptual environment, which can therefore be used in a non-traditional way. more on: https://www.fndaterballetto.it/en/dance-for-an-ideal-city/ (PW: FND)
