Centro Professionale Ballet Studio presents

Acto

  • Choreography by Francesco Annarumma
  • Featuring the students of the Advanced Training ProgramCentro Professionale Ballet Studio
    Music by Kangding Ray
ACTO emerges from an intense and passionate creative process developed with young pre-professional students, as they explore how to deconstruct the body to understand movement in all its nuance.

It is a search for a physical language that is both fluid and dynamic—a dance not anchored in brute strength, but in precision. It is an invitation, even at a young age, to feel one’s body deeply, to perceive it with awareness and respect.

ACTO is a constellation of vital energy, a group of vibrant beings moving together like a single, intricate ballet gesture, amplified by electronic music that enhances its modernity and emotional impact.

It is a choral work, rooted in unity and collaboration, because true strength is born through sharing.

ACTO is the magic of a body that listens, challenges itself, and transforms.
A gesture of beauty in motion, a celebration of youthful energy and artistic precision.

Survivor

  • Choreography: Carolina Varela

We find ourselves in the Fifth Circle of Hell, the Stygian Marsh, where the wrathful and the slothful are punished. Amidst this desolate landscape, a slothful soul, driven by an insatiable desire to survive, struggles to endure.

Strings of Time

  • Choreography Tamara Fragale
  • Dancer: Assolo Nicole Grande
  • Music: Max Richter

“String of Time” is a contemporary dance solo that explores the emotional tension between nostalgia for the past and anticipation for the future.Through fluid, expressive movement and moments of stillness, the dancer embodies the push and pull of memory and desire, ultimately arriving at a place of presence. The choreography invites the audience to reflect on the fleeting nature of time and the quiet power of living fully in the now.

Wave in Space

  • Coreography: Tamara Fragale
  • Dancer: Chloe Lalia
  • Music: Brambles

“Wave in Space” is a contemporary solo that explores the sensation of floating through a surreal dreamscape. The dancer moves as if suspended in time and space, evoking a feeling of weightlessness and fluidity. Through soft, wave-like motions and expansive gestures, the piece embodies a meditative journey—an intimate exploration of presence, perception, and the flow of time.

 

Cadence

  • Choreography: Tamara Fragale
  • Dancer: Matilde Perrone
  • Music: Travis Lake

“Cadence” is a contemporary dance solo inspired by the evocative music of Travis Lake. This piece is a celebration of the unique rhythm and inner pulse that lives within every dancer. Through dynamic, personal movement, the choreography becomes a physical expression of energy flowing from the heart outward — a connection between body, music, and emotion. “Cadence” honors the individuality and movement quality of the dancer, and her  rhythm as a powerful form of self-expression.

What About Love

  • Music: Magdalena From Delis
  • Choreography : Magdalena From Delis
 
The feeling of love running over us like a train rocket, or like the smooth touch of the wind in your hair. A sweet kiss on your neck, the way that eyes meet only for a moment and fill eternity. Self love that shows us to be the fundamental truth of how we should love each other. And where there is no love, the silence is like the echo of the soul. The fireworks that go off when everything fits and nothing is lost. What about the love that was made for you and me and us?
Centro di Formazione Professionale – Ateneo della Danza presents

Overwhelmed

Overwhelmed is a complex emotional bond — a portrait of the natural structure of a deep connection.
It tells the story of two souls moving through waves of melancholy, carrying with them affection, nostalgia, and a trace of anger — emotions that, together, fill the heart to the point of becoming, indeed, overwhelmed.
