Dancer, performer, author and dance movement therapist, a sensitive and innovative voice in contemporary dance and performance.

Francesca Cola, a highly sensitive artist, transcends disciplinary boundaries, exploring the intersections of contemporary dance, performance art, and visual arts with poetic rigor. Her work, characterized by a delicate balance between discipline and sensitivity, spans multiple languages and processes, transforming movement into a powerful tool for dialogue, experience, and reflection. Beyond the body and gesture, Francesca delves into the intricate interplay of space, time, matter, and audience, creating profound connections. Her unique approach, rooted in her early experiences as a synchronized swimmer, blends the harmony and rigor of aquatic movement with the dynamic explorations of contemporary dance. This fusion has led to a rich and complex practice, where movement becomes a living dialogue with the surrounding space and those who witness it. In her work, movement becomes a ritual, a transformative experience that challenges conventions and celebrates the diversity of bodies. By decolonizing the gaze on the body, Francesca restores its authenticity and expressive power, inviting audiences to connect, unite, and experience the world in new ways.
Francesca is an artist who delves into the human condition through movement and interaction. Her works, rich in symbolism and wonder, remind us that each body is a cosmos, each space a landscape to be explored, and every encounter a chance for metamorphosis.
