Laura D’Amico is a multi-hyphenate performance artist with a formal background in STEM and agriculture. She is a 2023-2024 Fulbright Scholar, where she trained and performed for one year with the Anfibia Artist Program in Bologna, Italy, under the direction of Mattia Gandini, Martina La Ragione, and Carlo Massari. Using heightened sensitivity and vulnerability from her lived experiences, her work emphasizes blurring the lines between humans and the animal species with which we interact. While in Italy, Laura has closely worked on her breadth of creation tools from originating artists from Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekybus, Les Ballets C de la B, Compagnie Maguy Marin, Batsheva, Peeping Tom, C&C Company, Artemis Danza, and many freelance Italian dance artists. Under various teachers both in Europe and North America, Laura has taken five Gaga Lab intensives, including studying with Ohad Naharin while in Italy, and regularly continues this movement research remotely online. In the USA, she has studied under multiple intensives and workshops with Andrea Miller and the artists of GALLIM, as well as five years with Garth Fagan Dance. She regularly works with Commotion Dance Theatre, practices her skills at The Auguste Roost, and teaches at the Hochstein School, all in Rochester, NY.
