VENERDÌ 5 APRILE, ALLE ORE 19.00, IN FONDERIA, IN COLLABORAZIONE CON NARDINI EDITORE, PRESENTIAMO IL LIBRO SE DANZARE NON MI BASTA DI CRISTINA BOZZOLINI. CON L’EVENTO RICORDIAMO SILVIA POLETTI, GIORNALISTA, CRITICA, CONSULENTE ARTISTICA INTERNAZIONALE PER LA DANZA, CURATRICE DELL’OPERA.
If Dancing Is Not Enough traces the career and life of Cristina Bozzolini, offering a glimpse into the international dance world, the political and social climate of her beloved Florence, and the artistic experiments with Aterballetto. A book written and curated by women, tireless professionals and leading figures in the field, addressing struggles for culture and the affirmation of women and artists in society.
Among its pages flow the memories of a major protagonist in Italian dance and the artistic expressions that are part of it: from the 1960s when she was Prima Ballerina of the Ballet Company of the Florence May Music Festival, to the memorable performances alongside artists such as Nureyev, Fracci, Baryshnikov, to the founding of the Center for Dance Studies, to the establishment of the Balletto di Toscana, to the direction of Aterballetto, a national excellence. The common thread of her professional and life experience is the struggle for the affirmation of civil rights and for a just society, in which cultural education must be the engine for development.
The meeting is hosted by Maria Luisa Buzzi, editor-in-chief of the magazine Danza&Danza, and includes interventions by choreographers and dancers who had Cristina as their director and mentor, such as the award-winning Philippe Kratz.
At the end of the presentation, the dancers of Compagnia Aterballetto will offer the audience a dance surprise.
Free admission with reservation (whatsapp 3341023554 | info@aterballetto.it) until seats are filled.
Bar service available from 18:00.
