MANUELA BACHMANN BERNASCONI
LAST NEWS
Sono proprio felice di riprendere a trasmettere danza contemporanea e pratiche di movimento in Ticino, alla Florida di Miglieglia e all' Ashkenazy ballet di Lugano. Per giovani e adulti. A partire da settembre/ottobre 2023.
MMITARI, my last choreographic creation, is a feminine labyrinthine journey, on the thread of generations, which I crosse in a moult of skins. The scent of my Sicilian origins is recovered through layers of voices and dialects, songs with Mediterranean tones and a music that manifestes to an ancestral and profound rite, and accompanies a dance close to a sacred search, the one of a totemic femininity.
MMITARI will be presented at Fondazione Casa Atelier in Bedigliora, Ticino, in autumn 2023,

SOMETHING ABOUT ME
I was born in Freiburg in 1982, Switzerland. I have Sicilian, Greek, German and northern Italian origins. I have been dancing since I was five years old. I started working as a dancer in Italy and France, between musical and contemporary dance projects. Between 2010 and 2011 I met Gaga and Ohad Naharin's work in Israel, in Tel Aviv. It was a transformative encounter. The same year, in Ticino, the Italian part of Switzerland, I met my husband Felix-this encounter was even more transformative.
For the last 11 years I have been working with him. Today we can count more than 15 creations together and many creative processes. We have 4 children: they push us to go deeper in understanding the complexity and organicity of reality.
In 2016 we moved to the lower town of Fribourg and with some friends we founded Xocolat, an association for the mobility of creativity. Now we live between Ticino and Fribourg.
For a long time I thought of dance as a language or even a profession. Today I see it as a ritual: an act that opens channels, cleanses and transforms them, a process of social hygiene. Dance insinuates itself at an imperceptible, elusive level and etches itself into deep places.
