Amelia Rudolph and Maria Luisa Buzzi
Hosted by Maria Luisa Buzzi, journalist at the Oriente Occidente Press Office.
Choreographer, dancer, and mountaineer, Amelia Rudolph founded the company Project Bandaloop in 1991, combining dance with climbing techniques and aerial movement. Her unique style, a fusion of athletic prowess and harmonious movement, aims to bring audiences closer to the natural environment, urban buildings, and everything that enables vertical dance development.
Amelia Rudolph, artistic director, has attended specialized courses and master's programs in comparative religions at Swarthmore College and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Her intellectual and artistic sensitivity defines her work, inspiring a practical, spiritual, theoretical, and even political creativity. The five years she spent in India, particularly in the Himalayan region, shaped her not only as a person but also as an artist.
She began dancing at the age of six and became an apprentice dancer at seventeen at the Hubbard Street Dance Company school. She then refined her training with Mark Morris, Dance Brigade, Clay Taliaferro, and Sarah Elgart, among others.
She started climbing in 1989 on the Sierra Nevada range in California and has continued this activity, which profoundly influences her art, to this day.
