Silvia Gribaudi is an award-winning Italian choreographer who specialises in performing arts. Since 2004, she has focused her research on the social impact of bodies, having centred her choreographic language around the comical element, and the relationship between the audience and performers. Over the past decade, she has been questioning gender stereotypes, female and male identities, and the concept of virtuosity in dance and daily life, transgressing clichés, and appearances. Her shows have been featured in national and international festivals, and are a result of a creative process focusing on dialogue and the poetic encounter with other artists, dance companies and communities. She has taken part in artistic research projects about active ageing through the art of dance and performing gender over the age of 60.
