AMAE (30\u2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n AMAE<\/em> explores the need for co-dependency in human relationships, questioning how the desire to be loved and surrounded by others can lead to behaviours ranging from supportive to controlling. Eliana Stragapede and Borna Babi\u0107, both graduates of Codarts, have extensive experience working with prominent choreographers and companies. Their performance AMAE won the first prize at the Copenhagen International Choreography Competition 2022 and the Partner Awards at the Rotterdam International Choreographic Competition 2023. Save the Last Dance for Me<\/em> sees Alessandro Sciarroni collaborating with dancers on the Polka Chinata, a Bolognese courtship dance originally performed by men. The dance, physically demanding and almost acrobatic, was revived through documentation from the 1960s. Sciarroni aims to preserve this endangered tradition through performances and workshops.<\/p>\n dance performances.
