Roberta is interested in dance as a specific language to research movement as container of emotions, experiences and form of communication. Ranging from meticulously choreographed to instant compositions, she enjoy physicality, freedom, restraint and concentration. She is curious how physical qualities are lived and experienced rather than remaining representations of ideas. Exploring the connection between dance and observation of reality, continues to inform and inspire her creative work and life. cv_roberta_ricci_.pdf
