Some words of mine… In my work Extemporaneousness, intuition and instinct are understood as fundamental instruments for the representation (or non-representation) of the choreographical work. Moreover a formalization of the scenic structure permits, the different disciplines usually involved (video, live sounds, beaus arts, social commitment, etc.), to deal between themselves discovering which guidelines facilitate the communication during the performance. I fix some reference points to the dramaturgical structure of the evolving work to be able to define, than, the rhythm of it. Besides those elements of construction timing is not pre-arranged/expected, but rather flexible. This approach does not endanger the meaning, the message is chosen to be developed and told. The aim is that to allow the communication between performers and audience to be more reciprocal. The performers I usually involve are other than dancers for example, graphic designer and solicitors, which have been phisically involved in my creations. In other cases I realized that the idea gains importance consequently to a process which produces an amount of consideration on the body, the regard, presence (or non-presence) on stage, public and private ‚stage?, chance, emptiness and togetherness, transgression free of charge in performing arts, non verbal communication, symbolism, ritual and identity, cultural behavior, a moving detail, stillness and its proceeding... negation of thought and action and all what this produces and proceeds in the artistic but especially in the humanistic world. It has to be said that strong physical training other than postural is very much considered in this kind of process. After all those difficult concepts, reality gains substance through the practice of the performative act. This has been the most difficult thing to materialize even thought I should recognize a certain ‘privilege' in relation to the response I often received. The difficulty is due to the fact that I spent some time in Sicily developing all sorts of activities not just related to what should have been the evolving of my creative work as choreographer, dancer, performer. I have been involved in pedagogical, organizational, administrative, political and social commitment, I had to face lack of proper confrontation in the field, mindless competition, obstructionism, boycotting, all actions translating into non-dialogue.. This disorganization has given me the idea to develop a wide range of actions precluding now and again my performative work. This has made me face myself with insecurity, instability, fears, unfaith and especially with rage! But for sure has made me able to deal in real time with moment and place not only in the performative act but in my entire reality this is what feeds my Art. 1993 - crea il suo primo lavoro metaphora a Barcellona, nato da una collaborazione con un percussionista del Suriname. 1999/2000 - crea a Catania due lavori brevi, Burp 1999 e I frutti di pomo Pusillo 1999/2000 presentato a Palermo. 2000 - realizza, con il contributo del Comune di Catania, Il documentario di video-danza Inter-detto. 2001 - inizia a produrre Bi...sssSolo, creazione per danza, audiovisivi, composizione musicale e discorsi (Catania/Palermo).
