Ginevra Benussi
Dancer & Movement Researcher​

BIO

After a beginning totally dedicated to classical dance, I discovered contemporary dance in high school. In fact, I graduated from the Liceo Coreutico (in northern Italy) affiliated with the Accademia Nazionale di Danza in Rome, specializing in contemporary dance. I continued my studies in New York and Dubai in particular, discovering the infinite possibilities of this art form, its total beauty, in addition to the sacrifice and effort it requires. I continue to follow masterclasses in Italy and abroad, putting myself on the line for me is a continuous discovery, positive or negative, always useful for artistic training and personal research.


I was selected for Biennale Danza 2025 and 2026; for a residency with Mario Banushi at Triennale Milano, also for Il seme della tempesta residency with Cesare Ronconi and Mariangela Gualtieri, Teatro Valdoca Bologna. I worked as a dancer for the documentary Respiri by Kinapix, which won the Bando Generazioni.
In addition to the productions on the site, I have danced for the Gala Dance for the Cure and for the Rotari Gala, for various conferences and performances throughout the country.
In 2026, I was selected and formerly studied for Dance Well; now I’m a teacher.


I’m also a dance teacher trained in the International Dance Association. I conduct masterclasses that focus on the technique, the body, and the improvisation.


Alongside my work as a dancer and performer, I trained in the academic field, graduating with a master’s degree with a thesis in Theories and Poetics of Dance at the Alma Mater Studiorum, achieving a grade of 110L. I have always thought that dance is not just the body, but also the mind and system. Studying this world from a historical and organizational point of view has given a boost to my work, both in terms of personal awareness and work skills.

Actually, I’m working stably with Compagnia teatroBlu, based in Italy.


In recent years, I have also developed an online training platform inspired by dance: Balley, with which I spread the importance of harmonious, holistic movement and a healthy and constructive approach to the body.
