Biography
Born in 1974 in Turin, Italy, the choreographer and performance artist Silvia Gribaudi focuses her artistic research on the body’s social impact. She gives comedy and the spectator-performer relationship central status in her choreographic language, which stems from the meeting between dance and raw, empathic irony. She won the Giovane Danza d'Autore award for A corpo libero (2009); and was a finalist in both the UBU awards (best dance show) and the Rete Critica awards with R.OSA (2017). She received the CollaborAction#4 award in 2018-2019; and was again a Rete Critica award finalist in 2019. In the same year, she received the Danza&Danza award for the best Italian production with Graces, and the Hystrio award in 2021.
She has taken part in several artistic projects: Choreoroam (2011), Triptych (2013) and Act your age (2014), a European project about ageing as reflected through the art of dance, which gave rise to the performance What age are you acting? and the regional project Over 60; Performing Gender (2015); and Corpo links cluster (2019/2020), in which the relationship between dance and the mountain community yielded the project Trekking Choreographic and the piece Monjour (2021). In 2021, she was a guest choreographer on the Danser Encore project initiated by Julie Guibert at the Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon.
