FERNANDO PASQUINI
Teacher and Choreographer of contemporary dance
Artistic Director Hinterland Dance Theatre
The mission is to convey a sincere and personal way of communicating through the body, free from patterns and structures that limit or alter conscious self-control; technique conveys nothing if it is not in tune with one's soul.
His is a sensitive, targeted teaching that focuses on experience and the search for sincerity, always leaving the right space for the personality and uniqueness of each student and performer.
