The work of the Amsterdam based maker Giulia Mureddu is known for multi-layered performances where strong, physical impact and innovative choreography intermingle with humour and the existential. The work is characterized by a strange and extremely expressive movement idiom and by a specific construction of scoqui dure toute la soiréere:  improvisation within the structure of the decor provides the performer – and the spectator – with the opportunity to re-experience the body.

Giulia Mureddu has choreographed several projects in collaboration with dramaturge Robin Tunca and light designer Roland van Ulden, such as Bava (2006); Mighty MatPogo (2007); the location project Liquid Space 6.1 (2009) and the duet Amore e Merda (2009). Mureddu brought out two new works in 2010: Intermezzo, a guest choreography for Dansgroep Amsterdam and a full evening project, Prossimo. Her most recent installation/performance piece Play Me will be presented at several site-specific festivals in 2011.

Mureddu also aims to initiate possibilities for exchange and discussion within the field of performance, transcending the borders between makers, performers, specialists and audience by way of linking performances, workshops and encounters. Mureddu is also a co-founder of Danslab, the centre for dance research in The Hague.

 

International: 

Over the last few years, Mureddu has presented her work, led workshops and participated in exchange programmes with several international festivals and venues in Cyprus, Italy, Czech republic, UK, Romania, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine.

Recently the company has been invited to Poland (Gdansk Dance Festival; Zawirowania Dance Theatre Festival, Warsaw), Germany (Künstlerhaus Mousonturm Frankfurt) and the United States (DNA, New York). 

She has received excellent reviews in various international papers. For example: ‘A splendidly alternative and physical consideration of all the excitement, anxiety and transient joys that the burden of living (and, inevitably, dying) entails’ (Dance Europe magazine).
