Chiara Sorrentino

Who are you as performer/artist.

As an artist I try to be the best version of myself. I believe performing is about sharing; a story, a memory, an emotion with others. When I do so, I like to be in a kind place with myself so I can share positive energy and strong pure power to whom is on stage with me or is watching from outside. 

What are your ambitions?

To be happy. Could be a cliché but it’s true. I want to work with people that inspire me and I want to say something that has a value when I perform. Too often this year I’ve experienced lack of depth in what I was performing and I believe it to be very important to remind myself for the future that, as an artist, I have the power and responsibility to say something that matters. 

Where do you find inspiration?

From the world around me and the people that are in it. I find beauty in small things like the sun shining or the fresh air in the morning. That’s what keeps us alive. 

What did you do in your internship, what did you learn?

During my internship at Theater Osnabrück i had the possibility to work with some guest choreographers like metamorphosis dance, Ed Wubbe, Adi Salant and Maciej Kuszminski. It was a year where i could challenge myself with different approaches and styles of choreography, i had the possibility to perform a lot and experience a little tour in Germany. I feel this experience has enriched me as a person and as an artist, I feel like a more mature dancer.  

Humans born happy but they convince themselves that happiness is something they need to find in life. What are we? An herd of animals without instinct that follows wrong ideas searching for something they already have.
