Raffaella Giordano has always focused on observing the world with raw and disarming innocence. She trained as a student and performer with Carolyn Carlson and Pina Bausch, and in 1985 she co-founded the Sosta Palmizi collective. In 1986, she began her own personal research, creating numerous choral and solo works and receiving numerous awards, including the Ubu Special Prize for the show Quore, per un lavoro in divenire (2000). Over time, she has collaborated on theater, opera, and film projects with various directors and authors on the contemporary scene: Baricco, Ronconi, Martone, Tiezzi, and Di Costanzo (L'intrusa, Nuovo Imaie Award for Best New Actress 2017). Strongly committed to training, she promotes and directs study projects for the awareness and development of the physical arts and accompanies numerous contemporary authors in multidisciplinary writing courses. Since 1994, she has directed the Sosta Palmizi Association in Cortona, together with Giorgio Rossi, a reference point and support for Italian contemporary dance.
Stefania Tansini, dancer and author, has won several awards, including the 2022 Ubu Award for Best Performer Under 35.

Her works have been presented at numerous festivals, including FOG, Romaeuropa Festival, Festival di Sant'Arcangelo, Festival Gender Bender, Festival La democrazia del corpo, and Festival Interplay. A graduate of the Paolo Grassi Academy, she has worked as a dancer for Romeo Castellucci, Cindy Van Acker, Simona Bertozzi, Luca Veggetti, Enzo Cosimi, and Ariella Vidach.
