recommended age: over 12 years
Contemporary dance continues the revolution of the American modern dance in favor of new bodily expressions. Is something difficult to ‘classify’, the framework of contemporary dance is, in fact, constantly evolving. The references to classical dance are lost, mingle and intertwine with those of many other disciplines. One of the essential characteristics of contemporary dance is its flexibility, its openness to seek in every direction. The resulting language is extremely diverse, multi-faceted; sometimes approaches to theater and its essential gesture, other times instead lands in solutions of complex and amazing motion.
