Ginevra Panzetti
/ Enrico Ticconi

Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi, based in Berlin and Torino, have been working as a duo since 2008. Their artistic research interlaces dance, performance and visual art. Deepening themes related to the historical union between communication, violence and power, they draw on ancient imaginaries, creating hybrid figures or images between history and contemporaneity. Both graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and attended Stoà, School for rhythmic movement and philosophy in Cesena, led by Claudia Castellucci.

In 2010 they moved to Germany and delved into individual, but mutually complementary paths: Ginevra studied Media Art at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig and Enrico Dance, Context, Choreography at the Inter-University Centre for Dance (HZT) in Berlin. They gained international recognition with their choreographic work Harleking (2018) that, among some of the most important international festivals, has been presented at the European platform Aerowavers Twenty 19, the New Italian Dance (NID) Platform and by Tanzplatform Deutschland 2020. In 2019 they won the 13th Arte Laguna Prize for the site-specific performance Jardin/Arsenale, they received the Danza&Danza Prize as emerging choreographers and were nominated “Promising Talent of the Year” by the Jahrbuch Tanz.

One of their most recognized artistic research investigates the symbolic power of the flag and took shape through the realization of a diptych composed by two choreographic works (AeReA / 2019 and ARA! ARA! / 2021) and was concluded with a filmic work (Silver Veiled / 2021). With AeReA they won the first edition of Premio Hermès Danza Triennale Milano, while ARA! ARA! has been supported by the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès within the framework of the New Settings Program. The filmic work SILVER VEILED was commissioned by the Dublin Dance Festival and was presented at the Torino Film Festival, followed by a worldwide screening tour.

Since 2020, their practice has expanded through commissions for international dance companies while also developing towards larger group formats, beginning with MM Contemporary Dance Company (JULIET, JULIET, JULIET, 2020) and continuing with Dance On Ensemble (MARMO, 2021) for which they created a choreographic response to the work of Lucinda Childs that premiered at Radialsystem in Berlin. In 2023, they created INSEL, a group work exploring the topos of the island, which premiered at Tanz im August in Berlin.

In 2024 they created ALL’ARME with the Croatian Studio Contemporary Dance Company. The piece has since been touring internationally and received the First Prize for Best Performance at the Croatian Contemporary Dance Awards.  The same year they created MALEBRANCHE for T.H.E Dance Company (Singapore), further expanding their work with large ensemble formats and intercultural contexts.

This line of research continues with IT’S NIGHT AGAIN (2025), created for Dance Theatre Heidelberg, CARILLON (2026) second creation realized for T.H.E Dance Company (Singapore), and REPLICA (2026) where Panzetti / Ticconi are called to choreograph the duo Abbondanza Bertoni, one of the most influential company in Italian contemporary dance scene. 

Their work has been presented across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America, including Japan, Brazil, Colombia, Jordan, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates, receiving consistent international recognition from both audiences and critics.
