Dance
and the
Circus come face to face in an innovative and startling cultural
fusion.
“Acrobats
for Dance and for
the Circus”: this is the name of the new affiliation between the
“International Circus Festival – City of Latina” and the Dance
Championships “E.D.C. – Extreme Dance Championship”.
“Acrobats
for Dance and for the
Circus”
seals the deal between the world of Dance and the various disciplines
of the Circus. The partnership aims to stimulate reflection on the
benefits of eliminating the cultural barriers that still exist
between differing forms of artistic expression. The meeting of Dance
and Circus disciplines becomes even simpler if the Dance in question
is of the acrobatic form: Acrobatic Dance on the one hand and Circus
Acrobatics on the other. Both forms of expression, albeit via
different methods, aim to charm the audience in a similar manner,
using the results of intense physical training and technical skills
combined with grace and elegance, all presented within specially
crafted choreography.
The
Acrobatic Dance Championships “E.D.C.
– Extreme Dance Championship”
(Rome, Sunday 23rd
September 2012, Teatro Greco) and the “International
Circus Festival – City of Latina”
(Latina, 18th
– 22nd
October 2012, in via Rossetti), as events of singular importance
within their respective spheres in Italy, are the ideal venues for
the encounter between the world of Dance and the world of the Circus.
“E.D.C.
– Extreme Dance Championship” hopes
to attract artists from various European countries. This will be the
first edition of an event that aims to involve athletic dancers in
competition within Italy. E.D.C. is, at the moment, the only Festival
of its type to take place in Italy. Many different forms of acrobatic
dance are represented in the E.D.C., including experimental and
innovative forms which, however, will still require a sound technical
base. Candidates from all over Europe are welcome to apply to
compete: as well as being a competition it is also an excellent
international showcase for performers, who will be seen and judged by
an illustrious Technical Jury. The Artistic Director of the event is
Davide
Zongoli,
a young Italian talent who, as well as being in charge of the
national AcroDance section of FISAC, is national pole dance champion
of Italy, and was placed fifth in the 2011 World Pole Dance
Championships in Budapest. E.D.C. is organized by Associazione
DanzaSì,
which has been promoting dance and dance events through the
periodical publication of the same name for the last twenty years,
through the efforts of Luana Luciani and Monica Ratti.
“The
International Circus Festival – City of Latina”
and “E.D.C
– Extreme Dance Championship”
will reinforce this new partnership via a series of activities
together that will also see each event represented at the event of
their ‘twin’.
