Elisa Sbaragli is a choreographer, supported by Tir Danza since 2023
At the center of her research is the body, understood as malleable matter, training it to a state of presence, listening and relationship. Interested in understanding liminal and hybrid spaces, she wishes to intercept, thanks also to artistic/theoretical sharing with professionals from different disciplines, an aesthetic and poetic landscape to imagine research formats and projects in which the interaction between bodies, places and non-human components emerges.
