Z ART DANCE COMPANY / GIOVANNI ZAZZERA

About the Company

Z ART Dance

Created by the choreographer Giovanni Zazzera, the Z Art Dance Company works to contribute to the development of artistic creation in the art of dance & choreography.

Supported by the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture, Z Art explores diversity in dance through form, space, and public involvement, while emphasizing human connection, artistic exchange, and collaboration

Convinced that the movement is a human necessity, the multidisciplinary artistic approach of Giovanni Zazzera focuses on the trust of the body, guided through its inherent energy, where images, motions, and emotions appear.

"In my work, I'm constantly searching to strengthen an identity anchored by the essence of movement, oriented on the human and the living, thus nourishing a rich and complete subject, aiming at questions and current and timeless words."
Giovanni Zazzera

About the Artist

After he graduated from the Conservatory in Luxembourg, Giovanni Zazzera continued his studies in Joinville (Brazil), where he was asked to work for various companies. He continued to deepen his experiences by carrying out various internships and training in Paris, New York, and Tel Aviv.

Actively involved in the cultural field, he collaborates in and with various engagements and artists. His multidisciplinary artistic approach focuses on the trust of the body, guided through its inherent energy where images, motions, and emotions appear. Fascinated by the complexity of the human being, his work explores the identity and the authenticity of the movement through the poetic into the absurdity, social, emotional, and temporal topics, materializing it in space, times, and moment
