The Visavì Experimental Contest is a one-of-a-kind event. A challenge catering to all types and techniques of dance, where participants are invited to put their dance in dialogue with that of others and with live music. The leitmotif of the event is improvisation, which makes the event unique and unpredictable and pushes all participants, dancers and musicians to give their best.

The Visavì Experimental Contest stems from the successful experience of Bellanda Suite, the two-day hip-hop, breakdance, and contemporary dance event founded in Cormons in 2016 by Artisti Associati and Compagnia Bellanda. An event that has seen the participation of more than 120 young talents over the years from all Italy, as well as from Slovenia, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland…

interview

Have you been to Gorizia before?
If yes: one thing you look forward to doing again
If not: one thing you hope to find

We were born and raised in Friuli Venezia Giulia, so yes, very often!
And we can’t wait to see again all the staff of Artisti Associati

If you could give a piece of advice to yourself as a child, what would it be?
Try harder, it's never enough and don't waste time. Time is all we have.

If you had the power to change the world you live in, what would you start with?
It’s a very difficult question! I don’t think I can answer.

How did you first come across dance?
By chance, when at the age of 18 I discovered breakdancing from skateboarding... and so began my whole journey of discovery.

Complete the sentences with only one word:
Dance can: everything that you allow it to be
Dance is: commitment and sacrifice
Dance will be: always a good way to lighten the soul of those who watch and perform it
I did not use only one word... but it wasn’t enough ;)

What was the spark that originated the idea for your performance?
Poetically or practically?
Poetically, I was fascinated by the particular state of mind we have in the moment of 'waiting', of ‘expectation’.
On the practical side, however, a new commission had arrived!

And now, tell me why I should come and see your performance:
You will see young dancers, full of enthusiasm and energy, open up to the audience by showing their dance. Nothing predetermined, nothing imposed, everything improvised and free, to the melodies created by the live music.
A captivating and exciting event.
