SOFIA KAFOL
am a performer, dancer, choreographer and dance teacher from Trieste, Italy. After studying ballet, I became fascinated by contemporary dance, the art of exposing humanity and vulnerability through movement – the subjective voice of each body and soul. In 2020 I graduated with honours in Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Trieste with a dissertation on The humanisation of the performer with a focus on the British New Dance and the creative process of Julyen Hamilton. Currently I am diving deeper in my dance studies at Oficina ZERO in Porto (Portugal).
I have danced in various productions by Teatro Lirico Giuseppe Verdi Trieste, Teatro Verdi Muggia, Slovene National Theatre of Maribor and I took part in festivals such as ŽIVA (Ljubljana), Invisible Cities (Gorizia) and Approdi (Trieste). In december 2019 I presented my authorial solo Del calore e dell’assenza – stanza bianca (Of warmth and absence – white room) at the Trieste Dance Project Festival.
