IL TAVOLO is a participatory performance experience, a scenic system that explores the dynamics of human connection through the language of dance movement. A particular mise en place where everything mixes together, the air becomes an active space between bodies and the picture is painted within its frame, generating a field of events where every gesture, even the unexpected ones, becomes a compositional element of an unforeseen score. IL TAVOLO is a pretext for cooperating and rekindling the roots of relationship and shared action.
The project is open to including, in the experiential material of the work, the participation of other people, other communities, other differences, imagining encounters open to the public.
Written in collaboration with Alice Milani, Olimpia Fortuni, and Flavia Marini

Federica Tardito trained as a dancer and studied acting and clowning. In the past, she worked mainly in France with Georges Appaix, in Switzerland with Pierre Byland, and in Italy with Roberto Castello and Giorgio Rossi at the Associazione Sosta Palmizi, with whom she still collaborates. During her career, she met clown director Giovanna Mori. Together with Aldo Rendina, she created the Compagnia Tardito/Rendina. She collaborated on the creation of “Sparsi,” a collective work for sound painters, dancers, and live musicians. She created the solo “Sonja,” with the support of Aldo Rendina, a project that won the AiR – Artists in Residence 2020 competition organized by Lavanderia a Vapore. She accompanied Aldo Rendina in the creation of the solo “Swan.” For years he has been conducting educational activities in dance, theater, and clowning. Parallel to his involvement in the performing arts, he has undertaken a course of study and research on meditation, a practice he also uses in the artistic field.
