Cristina Caprioli (Brescia, 1953) works with dance and choreography, spanning over performances, installations, objects, films, publications, seminars, festivals, social interactions and long-term intra-disciplinary research projects.
All work carries an urgency of thought and action, by precision of sign and complexity of structure, in rigor with increased sensibility, unstable in conviction. Each work speaks to one only and to all, through singular encounters in the common. For the thrill of a shared aesthetic experience.
For the dance that rearranges the world and touches our senses.
After decades of dancing in Europe and the US, Caprioli settled in Stockholm where in the 90’s she founded the independent organization ccap, ever since the site of all her work. Throughout the years performed nationally and internationally, from the most distant country village to MoMA PS1 in New York. From 2019 to 2025, she co-ran THE HALL, at the outskirts of Stockholm where ccap has performed hundreds of shows per year.
Cristina has taught extensively at institutions and in the independent field. From 2008 to 2013 she was Professor of Choreography at the Stockholm University of the Arts. Since then, she has been involved in post-graduate studies and acting as supervisor for PhD students. In 2015 she was guest teacher at Harvard University. In 2022 she served as Mercator guest professor at Freie Universität in Berlin, in 2024 she was guest lecturer at
Yale University, and taught and choreographed for the international dance program La Biennale di Venezia / Biennale College Danza.
In 2022 Caprioli was invited by Tanz im August in Berlin to present ONCE OVER TIME – a retrospective, a three week-long series of performances from her past, present and future body of work. In 2024, La Biennale di Venezia honored her with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance, in which occasion she presented four major works.
Caprioli has also received several Swedish awards, such as the Cullberg price (2008), the prestigious Gannevik stipendium (2013), and the Royal Medal Illis quorum meruere labores (2021) “for her extensive and significant work as a dancer and choreographer as well as outstanding contributions in both the Swedish and the international dance field”. In 2024 she was awarded the Carina Ari Medal, in 2025, the Dance Prize from the Swedish Theatre Critics Association, specifically for her 2025 production, ONE CALL FOUR SIDES.
