“Se danzare non mi basta”: Cristina Bozzolini at Fonderia to present her book

**Friday, April 5th, at 7:00 PM, at Fonderia, in collaboration with Nardini Editore, we present the book Se danzare non mi basta (If Dancing Isn’t Enough) by Cristina Bozzolini. At the event, we remember Silvia Poletti, journalist, critic, international artistic consultant for dance, and curator of the work.**

Se danzare non mi basta (If Dancing Isn’t Enough) traces the career and life of Cristina Bozzolini, offering insight into the world of international dance, the political and social climate of her beloved Florence, and the artistic experiments with Aterballetto. It’s a book written and curated by women, tireless professionals and leading figures in the field, addressing struggles for culture and the affirmation of women and artists in society.

Within its pages flow the memories of a major protagonist of Italian dance and the artistic expressions within it: from the 1960s, where she was the Prima ballerina of the Corpo di ballo del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, to the memorable performances alongside artists such as Nureyev, Fracci, Baryshnikov, to the birth of the Centro Studi Danza, to the foundation of the Balletto di Toscana, to her direction of Aterballetto, a national excellence. A common thread in her professional and life experience is the struggle for civil rights and for a just society, where cultural education must be the engine for development.

The event will be led by Maria Luisa Buzzi, editor-in-chief of the magazine Danza&Danza, and will feature contributions from choreographers and dancers who have had Cristina as their director and mentor, such as the award-winning Philippe Kratz.

At the end of the presentation, the dancers of the Aterballetto Company will delight the audience with a dance surprise.

Free entry with reservation (WhatsApp 3341023554 | info@aterballetto.it) until seats are full.
Bar service available from 6:00 PM.

During the event, it will be possible to purchase the book, and Cristina Bozzolini will be available to sign copies.
