As an artist she realize the importance of self-consciousness, and that the respect of our own identity and individuality is in this historical moment crucial.
Therefore she strongly believes that dance and dancers has to be able to recognize their own being and capability, using them to express without disrespect their own personality and the value of it.

M.EUGENIA DEMEGLIO

What seemed to be a hobby became a raison d’être, so that in 1999 she moved to Turin to have a professional education in dance, leaving the flute in its case forever. Happy, but not fully satisfied yet, she was dreaming of meaningful body communication while being caged in a tutu, so that in 2004 she’s immigrated in Rotterdam, where she’s just got a Bachelor in dance, specialization Choreography, at Codarts.
Throughout these 15 years, she’d met various aspects and international personalities of the dance and theatre world, learning improvisation, composition, modern techniques and modern repertoire; or assisting them in their productions, among others, A. van Dijk, D. Newcomb, A. Battistini. She’d performed for various young and affirmed choreographers in The Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, and she’d created around ten theatre-dance pieces and installations performed in various Institutions and Festivals in the same Countries, such as Nederlandse Architectuur Instituut, Academiegebouw Utrecht, Korzo Theatre, Rotterdam Film Festival, Theater Lantaren/ Venster, Festival Lunatica and Festival dell’Incanto.
At the moment she understood that improvisation is the best vehicle to embody the contemporary concept of now for both audience and performer.
