A residency of the choreographers and performers Greta Francolini and Giuseppe Vincent Giampino at PARC from 13 to 18 January.

The intent of this collaboration is to create a mix of the performative and creative languages of the two artists for the implementation of a co-creation.
The creative path will develop from the practical and theoretical bases of the works already completed by Giuseppe Vincent Giampino by re-opening their bodily processes and practices, which could become a possible basis for a comparison with the dancemaker Greta Francolini, who will propose her work as a catalyst of contents and meeting practices.

Greta Francolini is a dancer and choreographer. In 2016 she was with Annamaria Ajmone at the “Biennale College” in Venice. In 2017 she was selected for “Half a House” within the European project “N.O.W.
