Since 2003 Amina Amici signs her choreographies: four solos dedicated to “Maria o dell’appartenenza”, a duo “per tre corpi forse, prologue”, the solo “Resti Lontani” and the quartet “Vuoti d’aria”. From 2009 to 2017 she was an associate artist of the Associazione Sosta Palmizi. Through her knowledge of feldenkrais she opened up her interest in deep organic and anatomical techniques. This interest was then deepened in New York by attending the classes of Klein Tecnique, a technique previously known in a seminar with Yasmeen Godder. Reference for choreographic writing to the work of Trisha Brown for the cleanliness and incisiveness of the gesture, the use of the body in an anatomical and organic way. Starting from this example, the interest looks at choreographic practices that manage to combine technical rigor and theatricality. Moreover, an important reference for the entire artistic trajectory is iconography, through the medium of painting and sculpture, especially with the works of Mantegna, Botticelli, the early Picasso, Giacometti, Bill Viola. The solid knowledge in the field of bodily particles such as Klein Tecnique, Nikolais method, the in-depth study of Shiatsu and a professional education in the field of contemporary dance and the new theatre have made it possible to create a personal and very peculiar synthesis.
