Originally from Syracuse, Sicily, Damiano discovered a true passion for dance from a very young age. Ambitious and exceptionally talented, he was admitted at the age of sixteen to the prestigious La Scala Ballet School in Milan<\/em>, from which he graduated in 2007. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damiano then moved to France, joining the Ballet of the Op\u00e9ra National du Rhin<\/em> in Mulhouse, where he performed works by Forsythe, B\u00e9jart, and Godani, before becoming a member of the Ballet du Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Gen\u00e8ve<\/em> until 2013. There, he danced soloist roles in choreographies by Cherkaoui, Millepied, Foniadakis, Maillot, and Ventriglia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After several years away from his homeland, Damiano returned to Italy to take up a soloist position with the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza Aterballetto<\/em>. He remained with the company for seven seasons, performing works by Kylian, Bigonzetti, Shechter, Naharin, Inger, Pokorny, and Spota. At the same time, Damiano began exploring choreography, a path that quickly revealed itself as a true calling. He made his choreographic debut for the same company in 2015 with \u201cMigliori\u201d and again in 2016 with \u201cEmme\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, his choreography \u201cSurvivante\u201d became part of the In\/Finito<\/em> dance and photography project, and his duet \u201cAbiectio\u201d was selected for the 33rd International Choreographic Competition of Hanover<\/em>. The following year, he choreographed the video \u201cIl trionfo della grazia\u201d, produced by Italian filmmaker Valeria Civardi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, he created \u201cMotus Marmoris\u201d for the Italian festival White Carrara Downtown<\/em> and collaborated with the Symphony Orchestra conducted by Giacomo Loprieno in the show \u201cThe Legend of Morricone\u201d. Between 2021 and 2022, he created \u201cEsprit List\u201d for AlmaMiaDanceProject in Lausanne, \u201cThe Fifth Season\u201d and \u201cElements\u201d for Luglio Musicale Trapanese, and \u201cArmonica\u201d for Virna Toppi and Nicola Del Freo, principal dancers of La Scala. He also choreographed the music video \u201cKiss Me Again\u201d by Giovanni Allevi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, he created \u201cMartyris\u201d for the Balletto di Siena directed by Marco Batti, \u201cMipiaci\u201d for the Padova Dance Project<\/em>, \u201cMade In\u201d for Brancaccio Danza at the Futuro Festival<\/em> in Rome, and \u201cThe place to be, une terre qui n’est pas seulement la n\u00f4tre\u201d in 2024 for DnAND<\/em> of the National Dance Academy of Rome<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside his choreographic work, Damiano is a guest teacher at various professional institutions, including the John Cranko School<\/em> in Stuttgart and A.S.E. Global Bridges<\/em> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, he performed in \u201cThe Nature of Rabbits\u201d, a creation by choreographer Pontus Lidberg, presented at the Venice Biennale and the Joyce Theater in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2020, he is also the Artistic Director of the Castle Summer Intensive <\/em>in Italy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
