Through an intense physical exploration of body possibilities and movement composition, Fabio deals with issues connected to the study and understanding of human behavior, inspired by reflections related to psychology, sociology and anthropology.
His latest works have analysed the perception and fragmentation of the self (As if, I have missed myself for MUOVI); the perception of the self in relation to social context (Lead Me for Mir Dance Company Gelsenkirchen); the perception of the self in the virtual context (#ASIFILOOKEDLIKEME) and conscious and unconscious social dynamics (NOOK for Skånes Dansteater).
Alongside the creation of choreographic works, Fabio has developed his own physical practice – Body Activation through Movement (BAM).
