Alessio Motta grew up in Gassino Torinese a little town close to Torino. His first artistic formation started with theater and street dance at the “Magdaleine G cultural and sport association”; at the same time he was training his body in other disciplines such as Tae Kwon Do,Capoeira and parkour.
With a fundamental background in theater and street dance at the “Associação Cultural e Desportiva Magdaleine G,” complemented by training in Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira, and Parkour, Alessio embarked on an artistic exploration journey. Venturing into the Scuola di Cirko Vertigo in Turin, he honed his skills in acrobatic dance and Chinese pole over two years.
This pursuit of mastery led him to complete the Bachelor’s program in Circus at the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm (DOCH/SKH).
His obsession for the street dance quality of movements brought him into the community in Stockholm where he met other people passionate as him about hybrids. The cultural element present in street dance and other forms of folk dances have been the main influences and source of inspiration for his work. The main joy that he take from performing is to see the audience slowly starting to dance with him.
He has been working in Egypt, Scotland, Sweden, France, Spain, Estonia and Brasil.
