Fran/cesca Till

I'm a mover based in Glasgow.

I moved to Scotland from Cremona, Italy to study dance and be close to the magical Scottish nature.
I graduated from the Scottish School of Contemporary Dance (The Space) in 2019.

Since moving to Scotland I have been travelling through the UK and to Europe to learn different movement languages and expand my movement knowledge. I am most interested in Fighting Monkey, partnering games, contact improvisation, working with the ground and gravity, soft acrobatics and movement improvisation.

I perform and choreograph for stage, outdoor and screen.

I love hiking, moving in nature and being still in nature.
I often improvise and move in my room.

I am one of four members of Vaiven Movement Collective. Together we have performed outdoor movement work in Scotland.

I toured Scotland in 2023 as a dancer in A Wee Journey by Farah Saleh and Oguz Kaplangi after its Edinburgh International Festival debut in 2022. A dance and music collaboration created with all the participants' stories of migration and identity.
I have been collaborating since 2022 with singer/musician/performer Evie Waddell. Together we have been touring Fàilte Gu BSL, a performance exploring British sign language, Scottish culture and Gaelic through stories, music and movement.

My dance journey started as a kid in a small community dance school in my hometown Cremona. I am still close with Il Laboratorio (the school). Together we collaborate on projects and I offer classes to share movement techniques.
I facilitate workshops in Scotland , focusing on partnering, floor work and improvisation.

Since April 2024 in partnership with LGBT Health and Wellbeing, I have been offering monthly movement sessions for the queer community in Edinburgh.
