I think that since I was young I have favored the tangible and visceral relationship with the body and dance because it allows me to connect with the irrational and mysterious part of my deepest self.
Dance is for me an escape from the banality of reality.

​

Silvia Pezzarossi is an italian contemporary dancer and choreographer based in Belgium since several years.

Movement, imagination and humour are the elements I cannot do without and look for in my daily life.

​

Silvia trained in ballet and contemporary dance in Italy ( Modem/Cie Zappalà danza) and Switzerland (Ballet Junior de Genève).

Once arrived in Belgium she started collaborating as dancer and performer with some local and international artists for dance and circus projects:

Keren Rosenberg, Roy Assaf, Lies Serdons, Poetic Punkers collective, Cie Marie Martinez, Lisbeth Gruwez, Dorian Chavez, Krama Dance Company and this year with the circus company Cie des Chaussons Rouges (creation 2024).

​

I consider myself a curious observer of society and its dynamics.

I am attracted by its resources as well as its contradictions and fragilities.

It is from what I live, from what I feel, from what I observe of society that I draw my inspiration to create.

​

Supported by different Belgian theaters she made until today four dance & physical theater creations:

"Mucyclo", "Waiting for the fishes" and "En attendant que les poissons passent...".  All of them share a strong physicality and the use of a performative register that appeals to audience interaction, humour and surprise.

2024 is the year of Habemus Naufragium, a dance duet where the french dancer Anna-Maria Besnier Bayon joins Silvia as second interpreter and collaborator.

​

Alongside her choreographic work Silvia have been developing her own pedagogical practice based on improvisation, DIVE, which is inspired by the principles of Gaga body language (which Silvia studied in Tel Aviv with Ohad Naharin and the Batsheva dancers) . 
Silvia transmit DIVE classes and workshops in Belgium and abroad (Charleroi Danse, UP circus & performing arts center, Grand Studio/ Nyash dance company, Hybrid Studio/cie bud Blumenthal, Istanbul Fringe festival in Turkey, Dance Days Chania Festival and Kinitira artistic network in Greece).
