In 2015, Alessio began his professional dance career with the Milan-based company Ariella Vidach AiEP, where he collaborated on the creation and toured performances of Freespirit and Temporaneo Tempobeat.
Temporaneo Tempobeat
Temporaneo Tempobeat is a “mobile” performance that explores creative freedom and connection, combining contemporary dance, beatboxing, and interactive sound technology. The choreography, developed with the dancers, merges movement and vocal sounds into a unified expressive body, creating an engaging, improvised experience. Performers act as both authors and interpreters, shaping the performance in real time, while MAX/MSP technology allows them to manipulate the sound environment live, becoming both movers and DJ–beatboxers of the piece.

Freespirit
FREESPIRIT is a performance that explores themes such as affinity, openness of thought, and trust, aiming to create conditions for a shared moment of connection between performers and audience. The research focuses on the relationship between movement and sound, investigating vocality as an extension of action in a dialogue that explores gesture in its most distilled form—concise, incisive, and capable of expressing its full potential. The choreography, developed in collaboration with the dancers, creates a body/voice/sound score that, in a crescendo shaped by movement and breath, triggers a sequence of events leading to a state of lightness, with actions that release lively and irregular energies.
