Edoardo Sgambato
Edoardo began to dance intrigued by movement as a tool to develop awareness of his own body and very soon dance became one of the most important aspects in his life. He trained as a contemporary dancer and circus actor with various masters in Italy and abroad focusing particularly on CI and Instant composition.
In 2018, together with Elisa Ghion and Fabio Rotondo, he founded Corpoetica, a cultural association that promotes the practice of CI. In March 2020, he graduated in Philosophy with a thesis on Contact Improvisation. The same year, he created a performance for public spaces that investigates the dialogue between the languages of contemporary circus and dance. In 2021 he met Priscilla Pizziol and founded an artistic project named MACULA.
Together they have been researching on the meeting of CI and Instant composition creating their first theater piece AMELIA, with which they received an award for choreographic writing at the CortoInDanza festival in 2022. Over the years he has worked as a performer with various directors and choreographers including Willi Dorner, Agostina D’Alessandro, Lorenzo Covello and Do-Theater Company.
