The Foundation renews the Board of Trustees
The new season of the Centro Coreografico Nazionale / Aterballetto is just around the corner, marking a fresh start accompanied by some novelties. On September 13th, the Board of Directors convened to renew appointments, as reported by Mauro Felicori, Regional Councillor for Culture and Landscape:
“Congratulations to the new Board of Directors of the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza, representing the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia. The board partly consists of reconfirmations, starting with Azio Sezzi, who continues as President and with whom we have collaborated with considerable satisfaction, and Giorgia Aiello, a communication lecturer at the universities of Leeds and Bologna. Joining them are Diego Marani, who served as the director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Paris for three years, a diplomat and intellectual with a brilliant career as an official of the European Commission; and Donatella Martinisi, a school principal, whose expertise is valuable for the Foundation’s relationship with young people. Therefore, the board is firmly rooted in the local territory but with a broad outlook necessary for a company that aims to assert itself more internationally. We now await the appointment by the Minister of Culture, a novelty stemming from the affirmation of the Dance Foundation as a National Choreographic Center, unique indeed. My best wishes to the Foundation for the coming years, marked by ambition and the pursuit of beauty.”
An eventful and diverse beginning of the season: starting with an international tour, commencing in Biarritz at the prestigious Les Temps d’Aimer la Danse Festival, and simultaneously appearing on September 9th in three European countries: in Ferrara at the Interno Verde Festival, in France in Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle at the Espace Culturel Larreko, and in the Basque Country in Errenteria at the Lekuona Fabrika. Among the functions and missions of a National Choreographic Center is the ability to accompany diverse audience communities with a clear artistic sign, bringing Italian dance to the most important international contexts as well as to emerging and peripheral places, weaving strong relationships with the community and the reference territories. On September 16th and 17th, the Company returned to Reggio Emilia, at the Fonderia, opening the doors to the city for the Festa della Danza: two days of universal and collective celebration of movement, dedicated to the regional community. From Reggio Emilia to the world and from the world to Reggio Emilia, as stated by Mayor Luca Vecchi:
“I thank the Foundation for the journey taken in recent years, a path of constant growth that led to the recognition as a National Choreographic Center, unique in its excellence in dance. The peculiarity of a Foundation, established and supported by two public institutions and with a constant capacity for investment to ensure high quality, not only in our city but also nationally and internationally, is indeed unique to CCN/Aterballetto, which is undoubtedly one of the main distinctive competencies for which Reggio Emilia is known worldwide. It is an added value of knowledge, growth, and prestige for the city, the province, and for the region itself, a great community to which the Foundation and its Company dedicate, through their specific activities, particular attention at the cultural and social level.”
New recognitions, new arrangements, and new challenges, as emphasized by President Azio Sezzi:
“We embark on a new three-year period from the recognition as a National Choreographic Center. A challenge and a responsibility. If we make a kind of comparison, we note that we have the same recognition that the Teatro alla Scala has for opera, that the Accademia di Santa Cecilia has for symphonic music, and that the Piccolo Teatro has for drama. Although we are a smaller reality, we are in a benchmark position.”
