Transfers of emotional states could be part of our everyday life and most of the time we probably don’t even realize. It is common for people experiencing anger to transfer this emotional state to the ones that are closer to them, initiating a chain of rage that can be hard to stop. Brian Scalini

Brian Scalini is an Italian freelance choreographer based in Dresden, Germany. Before becoming a choreographer, he completed his academic studies with a Bachelor’s Degree in Product Design at the University of Bologna in Italy, to then take a different direction in pursuing his career as a professional dancer. In 2018, he finally discovered his passion for choreography, finding in it a new way of combining dance with his previous knowledge of graphics and design. In 2022, in order to get an additional upgrade, he got a Master of Arts in Choreography at Palucca University of Dance Dresden, Germany. During these past years, he had the possibility to create for Institutions such as Theater Pforzheim, Palucca University of Dance Dresden, and Tanzcompagnie Landesbühnen Sachsen, showcasing also his own creations to festivals and venues such as Hellerau – European Centre for the Arts Dresden, Hong Kong International Dance Festival, Machol Shalem Dance House Israel, Istanbul Fringe Festival, Festival Choregraphique International de Bloise France, Bauhaus Fest – Bauhaus Museum Dessau, and many others. Brian recently won the first prize at the 22 Certamen Internacional de Coreografia Burgos y Nueva York with his choreography “Meet you in the navel”.
