Alessandro Sciarroni Dance Workshop

Alessandro Sciarroni, an Italian creator who was recently awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, has set this project in motion to save the Polka Chinata: a traditional dance from Bologna (Italy) that is at risk of extinction. Currently, only four men worldwide know how to perform this dance.

This workshop is seeking people who want to learn the Polka Chinata. Over three days, Alessandro Sciarroni will provide an open space where the public can join the mission to save the Polka Chinata from disappearance. A background in dance or special skills are not needed to join in, just a desire to practice, learn and help a dance to endure. And all genders are welcome!
