Today’s episode is part one of our “Dancine-Docs” series in collaboration with Dancinema, specifically the 2022 Capitol Dance & Cinema Festival in Washington, DC.
We’re connecting with Mimmo Miccolis and Carola Mamberto on their dance and documentary works that celebrate Italian arts and culture.
First, we discuss the short documentary “Miccolis” which covers the story of how Mimmo grew from a boy in rural Italy with a passion for dance to a worldwide success and creative force in the ballet world. Much of Mimmo’s works are focused on social justice issues and can be explored on his website. He is currently a faculty member at the school and choreographer for the Washington Ballet in DC.
Next, we dive into “Magnifica”. Based on the works of Goldschmied & Chiari, and commissioned by the Italian Cultural Society of DC, “Magnifica” exists in many forms. We discuss the live performance, “making of” documentary, and the short screendance that brings new form and life to the signature smoke and mirror artworks of Goldschmied & Chiari.
