Monica Francia is dancer, author, performer, but also cultural operator in the largest sense of the term, trying to sustain young generations of dance makers.
\u201cI do art. Since I was really young to self define as an Artist was a trick that allowed me to live the delicate phase of formation and the choice of a profession without having to follow preset paths and predetermined choices.
From the beginning I noticed that my female-artist body is a political instrument with a precise task.
The relevant clue that helped me understand how to work with this was the choice of body as an instrument and dance as a language.
So the question has always been: \u201c what is Dance?\u201d
I am an author, intending this word in its etymological sense of someone who increases\/expands reality, who invents new worlds, who is the maker of realities.
I crave something which is not in the possible choices that are given, I want more, I want to find new ways to consider Dance and choreographic productions.
I create using a very personal physical writing, for felt necessity and not for market requirements. From the start of my solitary path of research\/self-formation, seeking every possibile energetic consequence of touch, of contact between bodies and of living and watching a performative event, I designed a language\/a vocabulary\/a method\/a practice to comunicate with people I attracted in my \u201ccreative world\u201d, in the society I wanted to exist.
To practice this Dance every body is always suitable.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
