Stefania Tansini

Artist in residence

After studying artistic gymnastics and ballet, Stefania Tansini graduated in 2014 as a dancer at the Scuola D'Arte Drammatica Paolo Grassi. Crucial in her training are encounters with various choreographers, including Enzo Cosimi, Dominiqui Dupuy, Cesc Gelabert, Jonah Bokaer and Maria Consagra.

From 2014, she began working as a dancer on all of Simona Bertozzi's productions among others Ant It Burns Burns, which in 2017 arrived as a finalist show for the UBU Danza Prize. Since 2016, she has been working with Luca Veggetti for several shows, the last in 2021 Infinito Nero and in 2017 she was called by with Romeo Castellucci to take part in the new production Democracy in America and in 2018 in Flauto Magico.

More recent works include a collaboration in 2020 with choreographer Jayachandram Palazhy and with Motus and in 2022 with Silvia Rampelli.

In 2021, she is invited to participate in the Cellule d'Essai meeting for young European choreographers at the Maison de la Danse in Lyon.

Stefania Tansini is an artist supported by the Fondazione Teatro Grande in Brescia.

Leaving the house, taking a train or a plane, going for a walk in the park, walking into a bar, visiting an exhibition or visiting a friend's house: moving through different spaces is part of our everyday life, we do it with ease and we let places influence our being.

Stefania Tansini wants to investigate the relationship between landscapes and the human body: how does the dancing body relate to the places it inhabits?

Studi per M, are preliminary experiments of this research path. Workshops, interventions in nature or in urban places, moments of work in the studio, rehearsals with professional dancers and periods of theoretical study.

Within these preliminary activities is where the project lies, a dance production contaminated and influenced by the rich background of encounters, inputs, research and experiences.
