SUMMARY:“Save The Last Dance For Me” by Alessandro Sciarroni (Italy)
DESCRIPTION:From Italian theatermaker Alessandro Sciarroni\, recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance at the 2019 Venice Biennale\, an inventive revival of the polka chinata\, a nearly lost Bolognese courtship dance from the last century. The polka chinata (crouched polka) is a rarity in ballroom dancing: it was performed exclusively by pairs of men. It originated in Bologna around 1900 and had nearly disappeared when Giancarlo Stagni\, a professor and dance master\, rediscovered it in the 1990s and began teaching it to his dancers. Theater-maker and choreographer Alessandro Sciarroni\, whose work inhabits the tension between tradition and modernity\, found the dance\, its hypnotic nature\, and its near-extinction fascinating. In addition to the performance at PS21\, dancers Giovanfrancesco Giannini and Gianmaria Borzillo will lead free workshops in polka chinata following the performance for dancers and non-dancers\, diving into the polka and invoking the spirit of the community to save the dance from the brink of extinction.
