Jacopo Jenna is a choreographer, performer and filmmaker creating stage works, video pieces, and installations. His works reframe the body in relationship with movement, through dance, choreography and videos, working across disciplines and generating a variety of performative contexts. Audiovisual arts and movement are in dialogue, creating a performative act. As a graduate of Sociology in Italy, he also studied dance in Codarts (Rotterdam Dance Academy).
