Ambra Pittoni is a performance artist and researcher whose work focuses on the articulation of collective critical thinking practices taking place within the realm of the arts. The therm “thinking” is understood as a metabolic process of transformation enacted through a multiplicity of corporeal and sensitive intelligences. Collective practice of critical thinking always emerge in and from the body, understood as a territory of affectivity and as a vehicle of unexplored epistemological potentialities. To that extent she uses choreography, somatic practices, installation, sound and writing to explore and produce fictional bodies, epistemological circumstances, collective bodily practices.
