In 2022, he created the duet Around 5:65, which was selected for the prestigious RIDCC platform in 2023.
In 2023, he earned a Master’s degree in Expanded Dance Practice at The Place London – University of the Arts London (UAL).

Alongside his choreographic practice, Pagani works as a translator for various performance texts and, through his video-editing work, won the Tuttoteatro – Dante Cappelletti Award for Best Teaser for two consecutive years (2024, 2025). He collaborates with several artists from the contemporary scene, including Francesca Santamaria, Pietro Angelini, Perrine Valli, and Hanna Maria Wimmer.
In his creations, Pagani explores themes such as performativity and subversion, developing a multimedia choreographic practice in which multiple layers of the performative experience coexist and interact, establishing an embodied and reflective dialogue with the present and with contemporary cultural contexts.
