Guido has presented work and taught in New York and throughout Europe and in Korea and has won several international choreography competitions. His resume includes over 30 choreographic works for Sanza Nemo Collective and for major companies in Europe, including "Love Conversations" for Skänes Dansteater of Sweden, which toured Sweden for 120 performances, and a modern adaptation of Brecht's "Three Penny Opera" for Asmed Balletto di Sardegna, which toured throughout Italy. Guido excels at contrasting and blending the most exotic and prosaic of performers, large and small, young and old, setting the professional alongside the novice in a creative choreographic context, enabling them each to express their own individuality while still serving his vision for the piece. He makes dances not about "dancers" but about people and their endlessly varied lives, loves, and passions. Increasingly, Guido creates dance theatre compositions that incorporate text and break down the fourth wall in playful ways that subvert and transcend audience expectations. For instance, "The Fourth Wall" (voted best dance of 2000 in Tucson, AZ by the Tucson Weekly) was performed simultaneously in every room of a bed & breakfast while the audience was divided and shepherded from room to room by the performers. His recent works, "Three Penny Opera," "1945: Sa Coia" and "Isola" integrated projected video. Early Biography Born in Guspini, Italy in 1966, Guido was the recipient of a full scholarship from the Sardinia Region and received his dance certification from the Sardinian Association for Music and Dance, directed by Paola Leoni. Wishing to delve further into dance, he completed a second certification with the Compagnia Italia di Danza Contemporanea under the direction of Renato Greco, again with a full scholarship, this time awarded from the Lazio Region. He also completed his 5th year of study at the National Academy of Dance in Rome directed by Lina Penzi. Teaching In 1988, Guido opened his own dance studio in his city of birth, which continues to operate today under his artistic direction. It was here that Guido's own modern-based technique began to take shape. His class warm–up progresses from gentle exercises to connect with the breath and the floor to more aerobically and ultimately technically demanding movements, incorporating ideas of release, fall and recovery throughout. He creates a fun, supportive environment and encourages his students to connect with one another and discover new ways of moving, often by leading short group improvisational exercises. Guido's approach encourages a relaxed way of working, thereby enabling students of all levels to develop a better awareness of body alignment, to increase their technical mastery through intuitive movement, and to apply this heightened sense of self and self-control to his choreography. His combinations offer great dynamic variety and theatricality as well as physical challenges including floor work, allowing students to explore and enhance their performing skills. He is currently on the faculty at Dance Space Center. Performance Career His career as a Dancer has seen him performing soloist roles in some of the most prestigious dance companies in Europe and North America, including: |
