Nicola Galli (1990, Italy) works on body research and he is choreographer, dancer, light and costume designer. His research stated in artistic pieces and devices that ranges from choreography to performance, from body installations to graphic-visual design.
Starting from natural sciences, geometry, astronomy, architecture and a passion for photography, his gaze is fascinated by human anatomy, light and sound, key elements that nourish the close relationship between the subjects that inhabit the scene in a perspective of interdependence.
His work embraces a transversal scenic vision, in which the body becomes the irradiate core of an artistic research and a sensibility focused on the exploration of movement as a part of different knowledges.
Galli starts as agonist gymnast and then approaches the languages of contemporary dance with Teatro Nucleo and later dancing for the company CollettivO CineticO from 2010 to 2014.
Since 2010 he has been developing a choreographic research focused on the deep relationship between human and nature and on the analysis of the notions of “stratification” and “landscape”.
Contextually to artistic research, Nicola Galli creates and manages educational workshops dedicated to children, adults and young dancers, designed to explore the movement, discover new visions and perceptions of the body and new reflections of his own physical and communicative border.
Since 2014, he has been an artist supported by the production organisation TIR Danza.
His works have been presented in: Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Peru, Switzerland and via livestreaming in South Korea.
He has also collaborated with important international Institutions: Italian Cultural Institute (Paris), Balletto di Toscana (Florence), MUSE Science Museum (Trento), Scuola Normale Superiore University (Pisa), Fondazione Perugia Musica Classica (Perugia), Institute of the Arts (Seoul), IUAV University (Venice).
