BIOGRAPHY
I am Sara Pigatto and I was born in Italy in 2000. I’ve been dancing since I was 3, following the steps of my sister. Once I graduated from a Scientific High School I moved to New York City to deepen my training. I attended the International student program at Broadway Dance Center and Gibney. After my time there, I started the Bachelor in Contemporary Dance at Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK). I spent my third year internship at the company DeStile in The Netherlands.
DIPLOMAPROJECT
“Anita” is a short dance film where my poetry and my body meet each other. The video is about what we don’t say, what we swallow and lock up in our stomachs, what makes our voices tremble and our hearts hide. Through six poems, this project is a celebration of fragility with all that living sensitively entails. There’s anxiety on one side and acceptance on the other. Simultaneously, there are no sides: there is stillness in the anxiety and fear in the acceptance. This film is about how, after all, it is still worth it to feel it all.
