      • BIOGRAPHY

        My name is Jacopo Bellani, and I come from a beautiful italian island called Sardinia.
        Since I was a kid, I have been inspired and fascinated by music and art. I started dancing when I was 7 years old, first with jazz and modern dance, and soon after ballet.
        From 2013 to 2017 I have focused on ballet and its technique, and eventually, in 2018, I first approached contemporary dance.

        I’ve always loved dancing and wanted to pursue it as a career, but, when you live in a small town with no theatre and little job opportunities for artists, choosing this path wasn’t easy.
        I eventually decided decided to take the risk and follow my passion and dreams and became a professional dancer at 20 years old, when I auditioned for my bachelor in May 2019.
        I'm currently finishing my first experience as an internship in the Stadttheater Bremerhaven.


        DIPLOMA PROJECT
        Look up to the Moon, Madame

        The piece is about the story of a person who is in a strong crisis with him/herself.
        In this case the person is interpreted by a woman (Veronica Scanferla), which is facing with a personal crisis with herself. She is so much detached from herself that a part of her which is the soul, phisically split from her. This part of her is rapresented by a man (Jacopo Bellani), the choice for that is to recall the image of ying and yang where there is a point of black into the white shape and a white point into the black one. The man will be the impersonification of her ambition, her creativity and artistic will, her soul and vulnerable part, in which she is now doubting and looking at it as a weaknesess to get rid off to put her apart.

        It's the story of the dialogue between the two parts of her, a confrontation but also a struggle that will eventually find a resolution by the acceptance of herself, by finding her balance getting rid of all the prejudice from inside and outside. Her counterpart, the soul will be the one to save the protagonist from falling into pieces. The soul is the part that we tend to hide for the far of suffering and exposing ourself to the world but it's actually the most beautiful one, the one who inspire us as artist and person in general, the inner child whom is always with us.

        I've been inspired by a song by Marracash called "MADAME - l'anima". The title it's a reference to this song but also of an image, the one of the moon a beautiful vision that break the darkness of the night, a way to say that it will never be too dark to find hope and get out of the worst crisis.
