Versione italiana

Choreographer, dancer, and author of theatre-dance and contemporary dance pieces, she was born in Florence in 1970. She is one of the choreographers/founders of ADARTE (Associazione Danza ARte TEatro). ADARTE has the aim to operate in dance and dance - theatre with particular attention for the contamination of the arts. ADARTE works for the promotion of dance, art and culture, so produces performances, organizes cultural events and carries out teaching activity.

ADARTE is supported by Regional Administration of Tuscany since 2002 and by Italian Ministry of Arts and Culture since 2006.
After a long ballet training, since 1994 she has further improved in modern dance, contemporary dance, improvisation and choreographic composition
In 2001 she past the international audition to enter in Accademia Isola Danza - Biennale di Venezia, directed by Carolyn Carlson (further training for choreographers and dancers).
Since 2002 she has started an artistic collaboration with Carolyn Carlson:
Paola Vezzosi is choreographer and dancer in “Frida” (a piece about Frida Kalho) produced by ADARTE under supervision of Carolyn Carlson. She organized the event “Incontri con Carolyn Carlson”, a meeting/conference with the American choreographer, in Italy- Arezzo (April 2003).
Another great choreographer that marked Vezzosi’s artistic path is the historical exponent of German Tanztheater Susanne Linke. In 2004 she danced for Susanne Linke in her choreography “Assaggi di potere – Macht das was?” (Versiliadanza production) and from then until now she has kept an artistic collaboration with this great artist.
Vezzosi’s piece, “Penelope - waiting songs” (2005) is inserted in International Project dedicated to Susanne Linke. So “Penelope-Canti d’attesa” was performed in several events linked to Susanne Linke (two of these: “Esquisses Giotto & Sequenza 3- Seele” (Mestre May 2005) on the occasion of Italian premiere of “Esquisses Giotto” of Susanne Linke; Fabbrica Europa 2005 – inside “Linke Project” (Florence may 2005).
In 2005 Vezzosi was called to make the choreography “Pulcinella” (Stravinsky’s music – Suite Pulcinella) in exclusive for Arena di Verona Ballet. “Pulcinella” was inside the event “Trittico Novecento” performed in Teatro Filarmonico in Verona (November 2005)
Interested to develop a personal research about a language of movement linked both to contemporary dance languages and Theatre-dance, Paola Vezzosi was admitted to watch rehearsals and to take the classes, like guest dancer, with Wuppertal Tanztheater of Pina Bausch in Paris (Theatre de La Ville - Summer 2006).
Vezzosi’s works are performed in important Theatres and Festivals (Festival Fabbrica Europa - Firenze, Vignale Danza, Volterrateatro, Festival Internazionale Nuova Danza - Cagliari, Festival Arie di mare, Radicondoli Arte, Teatro Filarmonico - Verona, Festival Fuori Confine – Mestre etc.)

Collaborations
ADARTE took part in Versiliadanza’s International Project “SUSANNE LINKE”.
In the first step of the Project Paola Vezzosi (choreographer of ADARTE) was a dancer in Susanne Linke’s creation “Assaggi di potere Macht Das Was?” (VERSILIADANZA company production 2004)
After that Paola Vezzosi was invited to create a work about Linke’s Philosophy.
This philosophy is founded on a Trilogy: Seele - Korper – Geist (Soul, Body and Spirit).
“Penelope Canti d’attesa” (“Waiting songs”), Vezzosi’s Choreography, develops a path across these stages.
It was performed in important events linked to Susanne Linke. For example:

  • in the same soiree of Italian premiere of “Esquisses Giotto” of Susanne Linke Teatro del Parco (Mestre)

  • in “Linke Project” (Firenze) Fabbrica Europa_05
