LIVE ACTS

SUMMER SUITE

Summer Suite was the culminating work-show of a two-week Summer School (25 June–9 July 2011) exploring interdisciplinary creation between dance and music. Presented at the Anfiteatro delle Cascine within the frame of Estate Fiorentina 2011 by O R A (Organizzazione Risorse per le Arti) and Associazione Fabbrica Europa, the performance brought together 25 young dancers and musicians from the Florentine territory in an expressive melting pot spanning jazz, hip hop, modern dance, and pop — structured around the form of the musical suite and an original score by Alessandro Nisticò.

J3ZZ performed as violin soloist alongside the young ensemble, with more experienced musicians and peer coaches from the European network Roots&Routes, which simultaneously ran Summer Schools in Greece, Spain, and Hungary. The project was part of Roots&Routes Follow-up, an action-research initiative addressing non-formal and informal learning in artistic contexts, coordinated by the University of Barcelona and supported by the EU Lifelong Learning programme.
