Premonition is a performance that walks along the boundary between dance and thought, weaving relationships between word, sound, and divination. For Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin, divination is the capacity of bodies to perceive energies, presences, manifestations, and even ghosts. She conceives it as a practice of emergence closely connected to dance: both share subtle perception, attention to shifts in energy, and sensitivity to the ways in which things move and are moved. Accompanied by the sound ofF. De Isabella, a leading figure in music for performance in Italy, the performance takes place at sunset, inviting the audience to cross the threshold between light and darkness, between the visible and the invisible.
Giorgia Ohanesian Nardin is an Italian artist of Armenian descent who has been working for years in the fields of dance and live performance. Trained in classical dance, she later graduated with a BA from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (UK). She began composing in 2010 together with Marco D’Agostin and Francesca Foscarini, with whom she founded Associazione VAN. Her work All dressed up with nowhere to go was ranked no. 1 among the works selected for the prestigious Aerowaves ’15 network and toured extensively both nationally and internationally. In 2016 she was commissioned by the CSC of Bassano del Grappa to create a work inspired by Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater, involving several women from the Dance Well – movement research for Parkinson group. Between 2015 and 2017 she was an associate teacher at Balletto di Roma. Since 2018 she has regularly led Pleasure Body, a space facilitating practices related to well-being and rest. In 2022–23 Giorgia was an associated artist at the prestigious VIERNULVIER in Ghent. Her work is produced and supported, among others, by Associazione Culturale VAN, VIERNULVIER, Centrale Fies, AtelierSi, BASE Milano, and Lavanderia a Vapore.
A journey into the aura of key practices and figures of spirituality and performance art between body, gesture and vision.
