Nunzia Picciallo is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist working internationally as a creator, performer, movement lab facilitator and gaga teacher.

Since 2022, they have focused their practice on research, exploration, and the development of original works.

Their artistic approach is transdisciplinary, weaving together dance, performance, conceptual and visual art. Their inquiry is a continuously evolving investigation into the foundational dynamics between the body—as a subjectivity in transformation—and the system/space, inviting a presence that goes beyond surface and image.

 

Nunzia's creations have been presented in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Panama, and the United States.

With the performances W am I and Lemmy B., Nunzia received multiple awards and recognitions, including Performance Award at the 27th International Solo Tanz-Theater Festival in Stuttgart, Residanza Award – The House of New Choreography, Masdanza Award, SAI Festival Award, Choreographic Writing Encouragement Award – Cortoindanza, Special Prize Movin’Up IN.
 

Their work has been selected by various platforms and programs, including Boarding Pass Plus, Progetto CURA, Movin’Up GAi, Collagene – DAS Bologna, Twain_direzioniAltre Prize, Biennale MArteLive, CosiDanza, Stray Birds Dance Platform, and the Young Author Dance Showcase – Anticorpi XL Network.

Currently, Nunzia is in the research and creation phase of a new performance titled HORIZON, finalist of the DNAppunti Coreografici.

​

Alongside their performance work, Nunzia develops a practice in abstract painting. Their works have been exhibited in collective shows at Cie Résonance (FR), Fondazione E.P. Santomasi, Atelier Montez, Galleria Extra Factory (IT), and the Copelouzos Family Art Museum (GR).

Their experimental video RED was a finalist at the Biennale MArteLive, The Next Short Film Festival, and Sottovenere, among others.

​

In many of their projects, Nunzia also creates the sound design, starting from a conceptual framework that informs the entire creative process.

​

In parallel with their artistic work, they are engaged in education and facilitation, leading movement workshops that bring together dance professionals and individuals from diverse backgrounds and abilities.

They have been invited as a guest teacher by numerous institutions and festivals, including La Biennale di Venezia, Taiwan National University of Arts, University of Panama City, Milkshake Project Paris, Marameo and Dock 11 Berlin, SceneKunst, Compagnia Balletto di Roma, Da.Re. Dance Research, District Dance Festival, DanzArt Festival, Prospettiva Danza Teatro, R.i.d.a. Program, Opificio in Movimento, International Creative Hub, among others.

 

Nunzia trained at the Dance Arts Faculty, Sadna Ga’aton, the research collective LaCollectiz, Batsheva Dance Company Excellence Program, and deepened their study of the Gaga Movement Language, obtaining the teacher certification.

As a performer, they have worked with international artists including Lilach Livne, Alex Mitutziu, Danièle Desnoyer, Federica Rossellini (for La Biennale Teatro), Enzo Cosimi, Omer Krieger, Clara Delorme, Penthouss, and YY Live Arts.
