SILVIA MARAZZI
Italian movement artist and performance maker based in Brussels.
At the intersection of dance and live performance, my multidisciplinary practice — spanning movement, text, video, sound, hypnosis and deep sensing — posits the body as a site of knowledge and dialogue.
My artistic explorations and embodied researches challenge the traditional formats for alternative way of collectivity and relationships.
Graduated in Contemporary Dance at DanceHaus Academy and in Cultural Heritage Conservation at Università degli Studi di Milano, Silvia integrated her formation with several masterclasses and internships in Berlin, Amsterdam, Montreal, Belgium and Tallinn (Jan Martens, Catherine Contours, Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, DV8, Olivier de Sagazan, La Pocha Nostra, Ephia Djalma, Mart Kangro, Peter Jasko, Troubleyn Jan Fabre, Marie Chouinard, Tero Saarinen, Gaga movement, Hofesh Shechter, Ultima Vez..)
Silvia began her career as an independent artist in Milan and contributed to several European festivals (Turkey, Lithuania, Georgia..). In 2017 she left for Montréal where she collaborated with renowned choreographers and for various independent artistic projects.
In 2018 she moved to Brussels where she worked as a freelance dancer and in 2020 became an artist recognized by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
In August 2022, Silvia integrated CPPM master program at EMTA in Tallin. Strengthened by this experience, she returned to Brussels to establish her work and develop her artistic practice.
Researching around community, relationships, dialogue, perception and sensation in the bodily expression, my personal work, is experimenting different formats like durational piéce, site specific, cyclical performance, open practice with the intention to create temporary communities and a new relationship between audience and performer.
