Sofia Nappi

FROM THE STUDIO // ‘LILA,’ a world premiere Choreographer @sofianappi.kc has spent the past couple of months in our studios creating a world premiere to be revealed this week! ‘LILA,’ first created and first performed here in Vancouver, was also inspired in part by the city. “This creation is rooted in my encounter with Vancouver 14 years ago when I was 17.” Says Sofia. “It’s a place whose inclusivity and multiplicity of voices reshaped my perspective and changed the course of my life. Here I discovered dance and movement creation. Returning now and creating for Ballet BC, I feel the freedom not to arrive with a fixed idea, but to meet the dancers, discover their strong individualities, and allow collective intelligence to emerge.” Take a peek into the studio during final rehearsals, and be among the very first to experience ‘LILA’ when premieres at TRILOGY Nov 6/7/8. #balletbc #balletbctrilogy #sofianappi #lila #divineplay #newcreation #collaboration #worldpremiere #dance #contemporarydance #vancouver #yvr #canadianart

𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦. Sofia Nappi . Il ritmo di ogni corpo affiora lentamente. Nasce dall’ascolto del proprio spazio interiore, nel tempo dilatato dello stare. Gesti fragili si espandono, pause cariche di possibilità. . 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗔 è un processo che non cerca una forma definitiva, ma accetta la continua ridefinizione. Nella residenza, il lavoro si costruisce come un flusso collettivo: ogni corpo modifica lo spazio e ne viene modificato, generando una trama condivisa di ascolto e presenza.

“Fragile gestures of the seven dancers expand into collective flows; minimal pauses become a shared rhythm. What appears as emptiness reveals itself as a field of connection and memory among the dancers on stage.” . ~moments from “CHORA - The Void as Origin” captured by the incredible @franziska_strauss_photography 🖤 •Choreography @sofianappi.kc in collaboration with the dancers @paolopiancastelli @glendagheller @bonnibogya @hereisindia @sennereus @sem.houmes @szklarzgi @artibouilliol •rehearsal director @adrianopopolorubbio •light designer @caso.alessandro.7 •Music @ciaranmorahan •costume designer @adrianopopolorubbio •Costumes crafted by @adrianopopolorubbio @AdelaideD ’Ago •Production management @oranjules @claudia.bauer.ecotopia •Production KOMOCO •coproduction @theaterwinterthur @romaeuropa @coloursdancefestival @orienteoccidente in collaboration with ecotopia dance productions •Residency support @inteatro @parcfirenze_ @orienteoccidente with the contribution of MiC – Italian Ministry of Culture @mic_italia . . . #komocodance #newcreation #danceproduction #komoco #dancephotography

𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦. Sofia Nappi . 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗔. Dal greco antico χώρᾱ: lo spazio, il luogo o la matrice in cui le forme si materializzano. Un contenitore vivo, un silenzio fertile da cui tutto emerge. . Nel nuovo lavoro di Sofia Nappi e della compagnia KOMOCO il vuoto non è assenza ma principio. Una condizione primordiale che esiste prima della forma, prima del linguaggio, prima dell’identità. .
