The Pillow welcomed Naples-based choreographer Emma Cianchi (@emmacianchi) to the Pillow Lab earlier this spring, in collaboration with American Dance Abroad. Cianchi is the leading force of ArtGarage (@artgaragedancecompany), and artistic curator of dance at the Teatro Bellini (@teatrobellinidanza). As a choreographer, her work embraces the use of new technologies in an eclectic and original manner. Cianchi's residency was a part of Woman Made (@womanmade21.22), a project of the Italian Ministry of Culture intended to promote the courage of international female choreographic voices. Organized by ArtGarage, the creative work will originate in seven countries with a view to sharing intentions and achieving common goals, including the positioning of women in powerful roles in dance through international cultural exchange. As a part of this exchange, Cianchi developed a new work with U.S.-based dancers in the Pillow Lab, and acclaimed New York-based choreographer Kimberly Bartosik (@kimberlybartosik_daela) traveled to Italy to develop do the same. 🎥 Inside the Pillow Lab with Emma Cianchi / ArtGarage; video @nelshelbyfilms // #PillowLab2022 #JacobsPillow #DanceResidencyProgram [Media Description: A seven minute and twenty-three second video of Emma Cianchi and collaborators during their residency at Jacob's Pillow developing work under "Woman Made" a project of the Italian Ministry of Culture intended to promote the courage of international female choreographic voices.
