Iskandar Company
Alessandro Bascioni’s company was founded in London, 2005. His choreographic work is distinguished for delving into the different stages of consciousness expressing points of transition between dance and theatre without superfluous elements; drawing from a musical, emotional and human expression.
Alessandro Bascioni believes dance has the power to transform and to bring people to a new awareness of themselves and the world, dissolving cultural and generational boundaries.
The Company, made its debut at Tanzhaus nrw, Düsseldorf in 2006, and through excellent dance, shows the immediacy of our human experience onto the stage.
