Nicola Galli works in bodily research and is a choreographer, dancer, and lighting and costume designer.

His research takes shape in actions and devices that range from choreography to performance, from installation to graphic and visual design.

Starting from the natural sciences, geometry, astronomy, architecture and a passion for photography, his gaze is fascinated by human anatomy, by light and by sound — key elements that nourish the close relationship between the subjects inhabiting the stage in a perspective of interdependence.

His work embraces a cross-disciplinary scenic horizon, in which the body becomes the radiating centre of an artistic discourse that takes substance in a scenic sensibility devoted to exploring movement as a hybrid panorama of knowledge.

Nicola Galli started out as a competitive gymnast and came to contemporary languages with Teatro Nucleo, later dancing for the company CollettivO CineticO from 2010 to 2014.

Since 2010 he has developed a choreographic inquiry centred on the profound relationship between humankind and nature and on the analysis of the notions of “stratification” and “landscape.”

Alongside his more specifically artistic research, he leads training programmes for children, adults and young dancers in training, developing a personal method aimed at exploring movement, discovering new visions and perceptions of the body, and deepening one’s personal physical and communicative boundaries.

Since 2014 he has been an artist supported by the production body TIR Danza.
