On May 5, 2025, the cultural association Nexus APS presents the European project TRANScenDANCE in Bologna with a public event hosted by Ateliersi, an artistic collective active in the performing and theatrical arts. The gathering will take place from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Atelier Sì, Via San Vitale 69, and will also be accessible online with prior registration.

This event offers an opportunity to reflect together on how performance art can become a space for expression, listening, and transformation—promoting inclusion and visibility for trans and non-binary subjectivities.

The event will be introduced by Simona Bertozzi (she/her), choreographer and artistic director of Nexus, who will present the aims and path of TRANScenDANCE, a project co-funded by the European Union. A discussion will then follow with artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners who connect artistic practices with theoretical reflections on identity, the body, and representation.

• Ariadne Mikou (she/her) – Independent researcher and educator in Dance and Performing Arts
• Luce Sant’Ambrogio (she/her) – Actress, writer, trainer, PhD in Gender and Performance Studies (joining online)
• Fiorenza Menni (she/her) – Actress, writer, and artistic director of Ateliersi

The conversation will be open to the public, with space for questions and contributions, encouraging a participatory and horizontal exchange.

• Monday, May 5, 2025 | 🕠 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
• Ateliersi – Via San Vitale 69, Bologna

This event is part of the dissemination activities of the TRANScenDANCE project, which aims to make European cultural spaces more accessible, inclusive, and representative for transgender and non-binary people.

We look forward to seeing you for a meeting of artistic practices, research, and transformative visions!
