Francesca Pennini
She began as a competitive gymnast and studied dance at the Tuscany Ballet and the Laban Dance Centre in London. She won the 'Giovani Danz'Autori' Award in 2008 with Eye Was Ear, a fragment of the project 'C/o' on Foucault's heterotopias. In 2009, she was a choreographer in the European project Choreoroam.
Her new production The Uncertain Scene – Reformatting the performative event is produced and supported by the European project, Focus on Art and Science in the Performing Arts. She has worked as a freelance dancer for Sasha Waltz & Guests.
In 2007 , she founded CollettivO CineticO, a flexible and traversable network for the artists and researchers that is a hotbed of experimentation under the banner of the transversality of the arts. The company has presented its work at the major festivals in Italy of young original dance including the Ferrara Theatre, Armunia-Castiglioncello, B-motion-Bassano....
