About

LA PRIMA DANZA (The First Dance) is a site-specific contemporary dance project exploring new performative languages within spaces of cultural heritage, redefining them as living places open to contemporary visions. The first research phase — LA PRIMA DANZA à coups de marteau – 1st step. Open doors / A Look into the creative process — takes place in September 2025 at the Chiostro and Cenacolo di Ognissanti in Florence. Choreographer-dancer Damiano Ottavio Bigi and director Alessandra Paoletti collaborate with Italian, Chinese, and Taiwanese dancers, alongside live musicians from Tempo Reale. Here, body and space enter into dialogue: performers merge with or contrast the architecture, transforming it into a living, sensitive landscape activated by movement and live sound.

The Artist

Founded in 1994 with the ambition of creating a European cultural home in Florence, Fabbrica Europa has, over thirty years, become a major hub for contemporary artistic languages. By transforming the Stazione Leopolda—a former industrial site—into a vibrant cultural space, it has pioneered international artistic exchange, building bridges between Europe and Asia, Africa, the Americas, and beyond through dance, music, theatre, interdisciplinary formats, and visual arts. Through 30 festival editions, production and training projects, and strong international collaborations, Fabbrica Europa has positioned Florence as a meeting point for diverse cultures and innovative artistic practices. The European Union has consistently supported its initiatives, from early Kaleidoscope and Culture 2000 programmes to Culture 2007–2013, recognizing its European impact. Over the years, Fabbrica Europa has led or partnered in numerous EU-funded projects exploring heritage, gesture, mobility, and cross-cultural exchange. In 2003, the Fabbrica Europa Foundation for Contemporary Arts was created, reinforcing its mission to connect creativity and production, support artists, and build collaborative cultural policies. Recognized as a regionally relevant cultural body and a Third Sector Entity (ETS) since 2022, Fabbrica Europa continues to develop international cooperation, artistic innovation, and cultural exchange at the European level.
