Mariagiulia Serantoni is a dance artist, performer, and choreographer who explores the deep connection between sound and the body. Her work is inspired by the idea of listening to the "noise" of movement—both physical and emotional. She uses sound, noise, and energy as tools to imagine new ways of relating to ourselves, to others, and to the world. Through concepts like frequency, distortion, and tuning, she creates corporeal, sci-fi-like perspectives—worlds generated by the body and for the body—that invite alternative ways of existing in the world and with others.

She holds a degree in Choreography and Research from Master Exerce at ICI – Institut Chorégraphique International – CCN Montpellier (2022), under the direction of Christian Rizzo, in partnership with the University Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3. She also holds a diploma from the Paolo Grassi School of Drama (Dance-Theater course), Milan, Italy (2009).

Her recent solo work, AGiTA, premieres in February 2025 at Uferstudios, Berlin, in co-production with Tanzfabrik Berlin Bühne, and is supported by S’ALA (Sassari), Wiesenburg-Tanzhalle (Berlin), Diorama (Berlin), CME (Culture Moves Europe). The project was selected for La Vetrina della Giovane Danza d’Autore 2024 in Ravenna, Italy.

Her original works, including Eutropia, Underground Memoirs, Diagonals and Other Love Stories, and DIA-rhythmic Fantasies, have been presented at various venues and festivals, including MilanOltre, La Democrazia del Corpo, Sydney Fringe Festival, Romaeuropa (as part of Vivo d’Arte), and others.

In 2018, Eutropia was nominated for the Equilibrio Award at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, Rome. In 2019, Underground Memoirs won the competition and award Vivo d’Arte – Performing Arts Prize, promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI), in collaboration with the RomaEuropa Foundation and with the participation of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities (MiBAC), and was presented at the Romaeuropa Festival.

In 2025, she was selected for a two-month artistic residency at Circuit-Est, Montreal, Canada, promoted by the Goethe-Institut Montreal, Circuit-Est Centre Chorégraphique, Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, Fabrik Potsdam, Internationales Zentrum für Tanz und Bewegungskunst, and the Bureau du Québec à Berlin.

Since 2021, she has collaborated with MICCE, a Bologna-based association with a transfeminist, inclusive, and plural vision. With MICCE and in collaboration with Francesca Penzo, she created Metis, a sound and choreographic action exploring gender geography, which premiered at Danza Urbana Festival, Bologna (2023). The project has toured internationally under the name The Metis Method through the European program PERFORM EUROPE 2024. With MICCE she worked on OLTRE(il)CANONE, a project on music composers from a gender perspective, premiered at Danza Urbana Festival, Bologna (2024).

She has lived in Berlin since 2014, where she collaborated for four years with the company Laborgras, directed by Renate Graziadei and Arthur Stäldi, working also with choreographers David Hernandez and Keith A. Thompson.

Recently, she has collaborated with choreographer Jule Flierl on the piece Time Out of Joint, premiered at Sophiensaele, Berlin (2023), and with Rita Mazza on her solo work The Voice, which premiered at Tanz im August Festival (2024).

She has received several scholarships, including Tanzpraxis 2022 (sponsored by Berliner Senat), Movin’Up (sponsored by GAI, Italy), and Einstiegsförderung (Berliner Senat, 2018).

In 2009, she co-founded the Milan-based company Fattoria Vittadini, with which she collaborated until 2021, working alongside artists such as Salvo Lombardo, Maya Weinberg, and others.

She has studied with many artists, including Alessandro Sciarroni (2024), Deborah Hay (2023), and Meg Stuart (2019). In 2018, she participated in P.O.R.C.H. Dance and Performance Module at Ponderosa, Stolzenhagen.

Mariagiulia is currently grounding her choreographic research in what she calls the “practice of the electric body,” a physical and performative exploration that activates body, voice, and sound through physical, energetic, and emotional crescendos.
