Cristina Caprioli is a dancer and choreographer based in Stockholm. In the mid 1990s she founded the independent organisation ccap, wherein she produces performances, installations, films, objects, publications and other choreographies, and runs long-term interdisciplinary research projects. Caprioli’s choreography is characterized by precision, complexity and physical high-technology.
All of her productions challenge the field’s normative formats and exchange economies. During the years 2008 to 2013, Caprioli was a professor of choreographic composition at the School of Dance and Circus (DOCH) in Stockholm, and she has received a number of grants and awards. Fall 2021, Caprioli was awarded the royal medal Illis quorum meruere labores “for her extensive and significant
work as a dancer and choreographer as well as outstanding contributions in both the Swedish and the international dance field.”
In August 2022, her retrospective Once Over Time was performed at Tanz im August in Berlin.
