In this section you will find choreographers, performers, practitioners and companies that have contributed to the development and dissemination of vertical dance. I have taken into consideration artists who have worked primarily in dance, their creations are representative of various themes concerning site-specific performance more generally. Each of these artists represents a different approach and a unique vision, dancing on ordinary buildings, in rural settings, on historic architecture, in the mountains, in trees, in the theatre, suspended from a crane, on bridges and towers, each of these personal paths of movement on the vertical plane reveals first-hand personal experiences, processes, passions and performances.
In the lectures I normally give during workshops, I show the film The Routes of Vertical Dance, a collection of rare short videos edited into a single 40-minute film, which were granted to me out of courtesy by the artists present and for educational purposes only. The lecture is supported by the Timeline, which illustrates in chronological order the vertical dance artists from 1960 to 2010, the year the research ended.
