Wanda Moretti
dance researcher
In this section you will find choreographers, performers, practitioners and companies that have contributed to the development and dissemination of vertical dance. I have taken into consideration artists who have worked primarily in dance, their creations are representative of various themes concerning site-specific performance more generally.
Each of these artists represents a different approach and a unique vision, dancing on ordinary buildings, in rural settings, on historic architecture, in the mountains, in trees, in the theatre, suspended from a crane, on bridges and towers, each of these personal paths of movement on the vertical plane reveals first-hand personal experiences, processes, passions and performances.
In the lectures I usually give during the workshops, I show the film *The Routes of Vertical Dance*, a collection of rare short films edited into a single 40-minute video, which the artists involved have kindly made available to me exclusively for educational purposes. The lecture is accompanied by the Timeline, which presents, in chronological order, the artists of vertical dance from 1960 to 2010, the year in which the research was completed.
