| Description | - BIOGRAPHY
My name is Giovanna Doria, I was born in Congo and raised in Milano, Italy where I received my first dance lessons. At the age of 16, I decided to move to Switzerland to complete my professional training at the Ballettschule Theater Basel. After graduating in 2020 I felt that I was not fully complete as a dancer and the curiosity of being able to combine my ballet technique with contemporary to the best of my abilities led me to the desire to pursue a bachelor’s degree in contemporary dance at the Zurich University of Arts. For my last year at the university, I joined Ballet Theater Basel as an intern for the season 2022/23. Throughout my education and dance career, I have danced works by Andonis Foniadakis, Edward Clug, Nadav Zelner, Pontus Lidberg, Dunja Jocic, Bryan Arias, Joost Vrouenraets, Iratxe Ansa & Igor Bacovich Craig Davidson, among others.
DIPLOMA PROJECT
FASHIONABLY FLUID
How Dance and Fashion Influence Each Other? The dance project is related to fashion in dance, particularly to ""Pina
Bausch,"" one of the world's most important dancers and choreographers
and the mother of the Tanztheater. Pina was not only an influence in terms
of dance, but also in the world of fashion, because of her fashion ideal, her
vision of costume, her thoughts, and the influence she has left in the
present day.
«The costumes of the Tanztheater are interesting as they present the dancers mainly as normal people - in dresses, suits, high heels and everyday shoes - as opposed to those who perform in traditional tights and dancers.»

Using choreography, costumes, music and location the film could highlight the ways in which fashion influenced Pina Bausch and vice versa. It could also deepen the cultural and social significance of fashion in dance, from traditional folk dances to contemporary styles. In the end, this video could inspire audiences to consider the role of fashion in dance and the impact it has on our world.
