Choreographer, and dancer, Francesco Scavetta leads, together with Gry Kipperberg, the dance company Wee, that, established in Oslo in 1999, has become one of the leading companies of the Norwegian scene. In the last years, Wee has been touring in more than 30 countries in Europe, South and North America and Asia.

Scavetta’s theatricality have often been associated with the atmosphere of a weird dream or to a playful world of a child: strange, funny, poetic and, at the same time, surprising. The created performances change in format and aesthetics. To the delicate memories of "Daddy always wanted me to grow a pair of wings" (1998), that looked like an old black and white movie found in the loft, we contra-posed the complex use of technology of performances like "Live*" (2002), co-produced by the Biennale of Venice and the unconventional dramaturgical structure of the latest projects. The core of the research has always been to deal with fragility and paradox, epiphany and dream, empathy and surprise, avoiding narrative and physical cliché, questioning reality and identity with humoristic disbelief.

Born in Salerno/Italy, Francesco studied at the National Academy of Dance of Rome, graduated in Theatre and Performing Arts at University La Sapienza/Rome and Post-graduated in Sciences of Communication.
Scavetta proposes a personal approach to contemporary dance, based on release-technique and contact-improvisation, influenced by his practice of tai chi chuan, that links a deep transformation of the body to a delicate poetic way of movement.

Scavetta has been giving classes and workshops, amount others, at: P.A.R.T.S. (Brussels), MTD (Amsterdam), SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Dance Academy), Anton Bruckner Private University (Linz), Henny Jurriëns Foundation (Amsterdam) and in many dance/theatre festival around the world.
The teaching project "A surprised body" started in the 2005, in Norway, and continued, throughout the 2006/2012, with workshops in: Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Cuba, France, Colombia, Venezuela, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Argentina, Uruguay, UK, Holland, Republic of San Marino, Austria, Finland, India, Belgium, Russia, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Ukraine, Spain, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan

"I am, personally, getting more and more interested in the process of learning, the different ways of articulating the transmission of information as an experience. How, as a pedagogue, can I be able to reach each individual, present in a class, in a personal way. My aim is to direct the attention of everyone to the approach of the learning process."
