Flavia Zaganelli (she/her) is an Italian dance artist and performer.
She trained independently between Italy and Europe, collaborating since 2013 with international artists and choreographers, and then graduated from Tanzfabrik contemporary dance school in Berlin and Smash#9. In 2018, she began creating choreographic works in collaboration with other artists, and then embarked on a more autonomous path.
Her research is cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary, and her interests lie in relationships between things, hybrid forms and collaborative processes.
Dance and performance are concrete places for her to embody thoughts about the future.
In 2021 her first work, The Game We Play premiered at Danza Urbana Festival in Bologna and, thanks to the award of Bando Abitante by Compagnia Virgilio Sieni, she then created and presented INVISIBILIA. In 2023, her last creation electrica/ecosi'stɛma/ premiered at Spazio Kor in the season co-curated by Chiara Bersani and Giulia Traversi. She is among the selected artists from the Boarding Pass Plus Dance 2023 grant with her new research Placebo Dances.
