Meet Jiri Pokorny one of our long-time collaborators ✨
For years, Jiri has been teaching Crystal Pite’s repertoire within our program, and we are always happy to welcome him back to AFI.
He brings not only the repertoire itself, but also his experience and deep knowledge of the contemporary dance scene.
The group spent an inspiring week with him, exploring various contemporary dance exercises, practices, and creative approaches.
We’re excited to announce that he will be returning next year as well — one of the most highly anticipated international artists in our program! 🔥

Last Saturday, the AFI 2025/2026 group and Collettivo Vikap presented the showcase of V COMPENDO
ascolto • forza • forma • ispirazione • immaginario
Since January, every Friday afternoon our dance studio became a space of encounter, listening, and shared movement during the seminar of CorpoPoetico.
The showcase was simply the work of the workshop from week after week where dancers and participants built a meaningful dialogue beyond limitations, discovering new ways of communicating through movement, presence, and care. What emerged was more than a performance, it was a deeply human experience of connection.
Thank you Anna Albertarelli , Prof. Roberto Renzo, Jacopo Desiato, and Marta Tirabassi for all the hard work you have put in creating this amazing connection.
The CorpoPoetico is featured in Art Factory International Program every year. There are still remaining spots in the upcoming AFI 2026/2027 program.
Join us for the next season and train, create, and grow in an international environment.

Thank you Darie and Andressa from the Jochen Ulrich Foundation for bringing 🌹La Cabina 26 🌹 back to life, reconnecting history with the present through a new generation of dancers.
A true transmission between generations, and a powerful reminder that art and dance never disappear; they continue to live through those who carry them forward 🫶🏻
Happy to begin this collaboration, and excited for all that is still to come.
