Description	BIOGRAPHY I’m Gioia Tartaglia, I was born in Pesaro, Italy. My journey into the world of movement began with rhythmic gymnastics, a passion I pursued until the age of 14 when I decided to start to ballet. At 17, I moved to Milan to pursue my studies, enrolling at the AIDA dance school. In 2021, I joined ZHdK, where I explored the expressive realm of contemporary dance, discovering new ways to communicate and connect through movement. For my last year of university, I embraced the opportunity to be an intern at Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern for the 2023/24 season, gaining valuable insights and experiences along the way. DIPLOMAPROJECT The "Natural Dance" project focuses on exploring the intimate relationship between human movement and the natural environment. Through a series of choreographic performances immersed in the wild beauty of nature, we will engage in spontaneous and organic dance that evolves in harmony with the surrounding landscape. With videos capturing artistic expression in natural settings, I aim to convey the beauty and power of the connection between humans and the natural world through the universal language of dance.
