New Horizons of Dance

Franca Zagatti

Franca Zagatti, artistic director of Mousikè in Bologna.

From One Journey to Another. Geographic horizons are not the only ones affected by explorations. This is because, just as there are horizontal journeys, there are also vertical ones.

Franca Zagatti takes us on one of these possible paths to discover the social and cultural contexts connected to the body and its cultural models, doing so through dance. For years, she has been exploring the so-called "community dance," understood as a tool for expression and sharing accessible to everyone, regardless of age, abilities, or disabilities.

Franca Zagatti is the artistic director of Mousikè in Bologna, where she is also responsible for the Course for Dance Educators®. Among her activities, she serves as vice president of the National Association of Dance Education and Society and as a lecturer at the Faculty of Educational Sciences at the University of Bologna. She has published numerous titles, the most recent of which is titled People Who Dance: Spaces, Times, Ways for a Community Dance.
