ALEXIS 2.0

Aristide Rontini

is a performer, choreographer, and dance community practitioner. He graduated from Codarts – Rotterdam Dance Academy in 2010. He worked as a performer with Simona Bertozzi (It), Michela Lucenti / Balletto Civile (It), Candoco Dance Company (Uk), Alessandro Schiattarella / BewegGrund (Ch), Teatro Della Tosse (It), Angelica Liddell (Sp), Carl Olof Berg / Spinn (Sv), Vahan Badalyan (Armenia) and Diego Tortelli / Aterballetto (It). He has recently developed his own artistic research presenting the works “It moves me”, “Giovane Notturno”, “Talitha Kumi”, “Alexis” and “Alexis 2.0”. His study poses questions on the scope of identity, on the relationship between the individual and the society, on the relationship between humans and the natural world. He’s interested in choreographic language, multidisciplinary system, literature, and cinema. He’s Danzeducatore® in educational and community dance. His artistic experience allows him to encounter communities of amateurs, to work on performances and projects aimed at the transmission of motion and body practices, at the development of specific themes through a language that is choreographic or hybridized. Depending on the projects, Rontini meets intergenerational groups or people with specific characteristics and age ranges, adopting methods that can be more or less participatory. He has been involved in various European projects aimed at supporting artists with disabilities and about the accessibility of art by deaf or blind people. Together with Italian disabled artists, in 2020 he founded Al. di. Qua. Artists, a group that is in the forefront of the protection of the rights and the autonomy of artists with disabilities in Italy.
