The voice is movement and vibration.
Per-sona is an action field where the body-voice encounters an overload of images and thoughts, navigating in the intermediate space.
This habitat gives interruptions and ‘impacts’ the right to exist. The sound body opens up to different rhythms, where time is in continuous metamorphosis.
Per-sona is a research on the origin of the voice as a physical sound and as a primary communicative medium. How to give space to the different voices that exist within us? Attempts at answers, in a game of taut strings and emotional abandonment.
After studying at SEAD (Salzburg experimental academy of dance), Blanca Lo Verde began a freelancer activity as dancer, performer and creator. She currently works with cie 111-Aurélien Bory in the show INVISIBILI, on tour in Europe. She collaborated with Natiscalzi DT (Monza, Rossi Valli) and with Jaw Lauwers and Paul Blackman in the SalzburgFestspiele 2021. In 2024, she took part to Anghiari Dance Hub program where she has developed her solo work Per-sona. She recently attended the program on voice techniques in Malagola, international centre for voice studies in Ravenna (Italy), directed by Ermanna Montanari and Enrico Pitozzi. After studying opera technique in the choir of the Palermo conservatory, she began to explore the relationships between movement and voice. Blanca continues to research on the interconnection between the two and on the physicality of voice in performance fields.

Attraverso Sant’Orsola is an invitation to stay within the process, to experience the museum as a living space, a site of meaning-making and connection.
An evening of dance and performance, listening and imagination, that reactivates a lived architecture, revealing the generative potential of contemporary art as a tool for care, belonging, and transformation.
The invited artists — Teodora Grano, Poliana Lima, Blanca Lo Verde, Lupa Maimone — inhabit the space of Sant’Orsola, which hosts the group exhibition The Rose That Grew From Concrete, with performances that weave together body, voice, and memory in dialogue with time and the evolving architecture.
