Igor Bacovich (Turin, 1982) began his dance training at the Accademia Nazionale di Danza in Rome and graduated from CODARTS in Rotterdam. He danced for several Dutch companies over a period of five years, honing both his technique and artistic vision. But his professional journey hasn’t always revolved around dance.

A different path to creativity
For eight years, Bacovich dedicated himself to social work, a period that deeply influenced his creative perspective and inquisitive mind. These experiences gave him valuable insights into human connection and emotion, which continue to shape his artistic work today.

A return to dance with renewed purpose
In 2013, Bacovich returned to the dance world. Together with choreographer Iratxe Ansa, he founded Metamorphosis Dance in 2019, a company where dance, technology and social reflection meet. His work is known for its physical intensity, emotional depth and experimental approach to space and movement.

Recognition for a unique voice
In 2021, Bacovich received the Premio Nazionale Sfera D’Oro per la Danza, a prestigious Italian award recognizing his artistic growth and impact as a choreographer.
