About

SOLOCOREOGRAFICO

Founder | artistic & managing director: Raffale Irace

​

SOLOCOREOGRAFICO is the solo dance festival and award, founded by choreographer Raffaele Irace in 2014, dedicated to the choreographic composition for solo dancers.

​

A Jury of professionals in the field of dance and the audience will awards three prizes: Solocoreografico Award for Creation, Solocoreografico Award for Dance, and Audience Award.

​

The solo is a particular composition that in addition to improve the technical and interpretive quality of the dancer, challenges the choreographer's creativity on a specific work based on a single performer.

​

The dancer in his/her solo may embody the human in front of itself, the individual in front of the society, the man who faces his personal challenge, a journey inward and transcendent at the same time.

​

Solocoreografico presents itself as an opportunity to promote the artistic encounter between choreographers, dancers, dance critics, organizers and public of this particular genre.

​

Starting 2022 the festival has developed three extra different areas together with the main program: Solocoreografico YOUTH, Solocoreografico FILM NIGHT, and starting 2023 Solocoreografico FRINGE.
