The Spellbound Dance Company, founded in 1994/1995 and directed by Mauro Astolfi, represents nowadays one of the most important expression of the Italian choreography. Concerning the international and cultural offer, the company is considered one of the most competitive realities because of the unmistakable style and the amazing excellence of the dancers. The Spellbound stage, expression of a free dance made up of a style and a movement  characterized by a constant experimentation and always new figures, has enchanted the audience of the most important Festivals in Italy, Spain, Croatia, Serbia, Germany, Austria, Belarus, France, USA, Thailand, and it has created a cultural factory, which has already become an example and an inspiration reference point for many young emergent choreographers.


So Spellbound Dance Company’s over its first 15 years of activity, with a name and know how already consolidated in the national territory, result of a successful binomial: on one hand, the support as production subject of cultural quality products, on the other hand the virtuous support of the educational world, in order to outline a proper artistic current and also a work method, which has approached many people to the world of choreography and contemporary dance.


So the growth of a synergic collaboration with Theatres, Festivals and international educational Centres, together with the creation of professional workshops and updating courses for the education of the dancer, have strengthen the attention and consent of the entire Spellbound project and of the current of creative and cultural stimulus, which derives from it. Today this artistic identity finds its place in the FORMER LANIFICIO (Translator’s Note: the wool factory), which will become a place of collaborations and ideas, a crossroad of experiences, projects and initiatives, starting from the territory of Rome, addressed to the beginning of new strategies: starting high specialization educational courses, through which new generations of dancers are brought up, in which experiences and repertories are transferred, make the Company’s activity usable for its own audience also through sharing extra performing moments, such as rehearsals and exhibitions, enhancing a structure, able to host showcases and residences, collaborations with Companies, also international Companies, already in partnership with the Spellbound staff, which analyze the cultural product from a productive and promotional point of view towards a dimension, which is now inevitably European.
