Long silver ribbons suspended from on high divide up the scene, establishing thresholds to be crossed. Within this space, five performers create a dance using elementary gestures: cradling, pushing, supporting and leaping. Repeated and shared, these acts turn the group of dancers into an organism in motion. Jazz performed live by Dan Kinzelman, whose sax sets a beat of wind and rhythm, does more than simply accompany the bodies, physically guiding them as they seek - and find - common ground. Choreographer Daniele Ninarello works on the body as a place of relations, as his RISE explores how an “us” can appear in the distance between two gestures, in the shared weight of a support, in a rhythm that moves from one body to another.
Trained at the Rotterdam Dance Academy, Daniele Ninarello has performed for numerous internationally renowned choreographers, including Bruno Listopad, Barbara Altissimo, Meekers Uitgesprokendans, Virgilio Sieni, and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. He has danced alongside musicians and composers such as Kai Gleusteen, Ezio Bosso, Francesco Romano, Xenia Ensemble, and Adriano De Micco. In 2021, together with singer-songwriter Cristina Donà, he created the interdisciplinary project Perpendicolare, which intertwines music, singing, and dance, presented at numerous Italian festivals and theaters. He was an associate artist at the Centro di Residenza per la Danza – Lavanderia a Vapore in Collegno from 2018 to 2020. Through the association CodedUomo, founded in 2013, he develops, alongside his own productions, educational projects aimed at professionals, amateurs, local communities, youth, and adolescents.
