Francesca Pagnini, born in 2000 in Prato, has been involved in the world of art and entertainment since childhood, with a particular interest in music, dance, and theater.
In 2019, she studied musical in Prato and from 2021 to 2024, she attended the three-year course at ArteMente, Higher Education Center for Dance, where she deepened her knowledge of contemporary dance techniques and came into contact with the languages of various international artists and choreographers. Here she danced in the original creations of Michael Loehr, Marco Laudani, Alessio Barbarossa, Maria Giovanna Delle Donne, and Adriano Bolognino and she worked as a performer in the shows Hands by Silvia Gribaudi and Genoma Scenico Metodo by Nicola Galli (2023), the latter staged within the Oriente Occidente Dance Festival, and Seven Layers by world-renowned choreographer Sharon Fridman.
During her training years, she developed a passion for choreographic creation, producing two performances: Taboo and Can you hear me?. The latter, co-created with Sara Gaboardi, was selected as the first study for the Affollate Solitudini Teens 2023 and Absolute Beginners 2024 projects, promoted by MILANoLTRE Festival. This allowed the artists to deepen their work through a mentorship with Chiara Ameglio, choreographer and co-founder of Fattoria Vittadini, and to debut in the MILANoLTRE Festival 2024 program at the Teatro Elfo Puccini in Milan. In the same year, Can you hear me? was programmed by Radic’Arte for the Rassegna DIFFUSA in Pasturana (AL) and by the Th!nk P!nk Festival di Fattoria Vittadini, a Milano.
Taboo debuted in the prestigious setting of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, for Milano è Viva – Estate al Castello, as part of the Visioni in Danza 2024 evening, promoted by the Centro ArteMente.
With the aim of continuous deepening, as both a performer and an artist, in October 2023 she approached DanceAbility, obtaining the DANCEABILITY ® INTENSIVE COURSE certificate in 2024, by C.R.E.A – crescere educare e agire, studying with Giulia Giraldo.
Since 2024, she has been an Associate Artist of the Lost Movement Company.
