_Jacopo Jenna
Visual and Dance Artist

Graduate of Sociology. He approached to dance only as an adult when he studied in Holland in Codarts-Rotterdam Dance Academy.

His artistic production is focused on the meaning of the body, thought as a place of feeling and exposure through the form and movement. The works are oriented towards a research of coexistence between the practices and techniques of performing art and the use of languages such as photography and video.

He worked in dance companies and projects across Europe like
Anouk Van Dijk DC(NL), Zappalà dance company (Italy), Steptext dance project (Germany), Collettivo Cinetico (Italy) and Virgilio Sieni Dance Company (Italy).
