Over Dance arrives in Milan: from December 3, performances and initiatives dedicated to longevity

OVER DANCE is the project conceived by CCN/Aterballetto to investigate the relationship between dance and longevity in contemporary society. The scientific partner of the project is the Ravasi Garzanti Foundation, which is entirely dedicated to research and policies for aging.

The OVER DANCE project is the framework for a range of actions undertaken since 2022 on the theme of body transformation and its perception as a vehicle for aesthetics. The December stop in Milan is the continuation of this journey, an opportunity filled with events and opportunities for discussion on a central issue in the contemporary world.
