Sosta Palmizi
Artistic direction: Raffaella Giordano and Giorgio Rossi
Creation: 1990
Sosta Palmizi split in 1990‚ yet it retained part of its heritage by becoming under the artistic directors Raffaella Giordano and Giorgio Rossi‚ the Sosta Palmizi Association‚ first based in Turin‚ but since 1995 in Cortona‚ Tuscany. The Association not only promotes and supports the choreographic work of its two directors‚ but also acts as a reference point in the field of creative contemporary dance. The Association is particularly concerned with the quality of the artistic experience‚ and the training and guidance of new generations of dancers.
Over the years‚ Raffaella Giordano and Giorgio Rossi have brought together in an organic and authentic way many people from different artistic backgrounds‚ developing a stable core of Associated Artists who share a similar historical and artistic perspective. Performers‚ creators and collaborators involved in the productions and supported as they pursue their individual paths‚ who have contributed and continue to contribute to the growth and development of the art of dance in Italy’s cultural scene.
By vocation and inclination‚ Sosta Palmizi has forged an identity as a creative centre for the performing arts‚ a domain for reference and dialogue; a bridging space in the construction of a practicable future path.
