Cristina Caprioli

Raised in Italy, dancing in Germany and the United States, since the mid 80s resident of Stockholm, Sweden, where 1998 she founded the production company ccap still base of her collective practice. Over the years she has produced over 30 works, several films, two festivals, one symposium, one trans-medial exhibition, published an Anthology, run several research projects, toured nationally and internationally, choreographed for institutions and extensively taught.
After more than two decades of continuous innovative work, Caprioli has gained the indisputable position as one of Sweden’s foremost choreographers. Her work is marked by its clarity, stringency, precision, and by its complexity of thought and cerebral physicality. All work is media-specific and trans-medial – thus challenges normative formats and economies. Every work targets, and exposes a specific interest and therefore demands, but also generates specific attention and engaged participation. Cristina is Professor of Choreography (2008 – 2013 at DOCH) and has received a number of grants and prices.
