ARTISTIC APPROACH
Chiara's work sources from the need of giving voice to the social controversies affecting our times. Her approach to choreography, and movement in general, comes from a genuine philanthropic interest, that brings her to explore human actions in their depth, digging into their original reasons and meanings. Without fearing the possibility of facing the ugliness and discomfort of the evil our society has been creating for years, Chiara's purpose is that of encouraging a social engagement as a solution to the isolation we are more and more experiencing. Often taking inspiration from old traditions and rituals, she wishes to create a communal experience, to deepen our awareness, as individuals sharing the very same reality.
