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 own soul.
Her teaching is sensitive and focused, aiming for experience and the pursuit of sincerity, always leaving the right space for the personality and uniqueness of each student and performer.
