ABOUT
riguardo a noi
Anthony Lo-Giudice is an anglo-sicilian dance practitioner based in the North of England, currently creating and touring small-scale dance productions across the UK and Europe with a collective of artists under the alias name of The Palermitan.
The Palermitan has been creating, touring and educating within the fields of contemporary dance and theatre both nationally and internationally since its inception in 2012 and has engaged with live audiences across the UK and Europe throughout Italy, Iceland, Ukraine, Norway, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain and France.
Their work combines movement, music and theatre to explore multiple themes centered around the human condition (with a continued emphasis on multicultural identity, love, family and societal tensions) whilst working collaboratively with artists from different disciplines to create unique and memorable works that aim to be both distinctly individual and personal to audiences.
Born in 1986 in Palermo, Anthony was brought up in the North of England and raised in a mixed English/Italian upbringing. He studied at Newcastle College, the se.s.ta coaching choreographers program in Czech Republic (under the mentorship of Jean Christophe Pare - director of the Ministry of Culture in Marseilles) and The Royal Ballet School.
