Life and career

Luciana Savignano was born in Milan and trained at the Ballet School of La Scala and at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow. In 1968 she was chosen by Mario Pistoni as soloist for Mandarino Meraviglioso with music by Béla Bartók, which brought her to the notice of the dance world. In 1972 she became prima ballerina at La Scala, and later Maurice Béjart created roles for her in Leda and the Swan, Ce que l'amour me dit and La Voce, based on La Voix Humaine by Jean Cocteau. She has also interpreted Romeo and Juliet, Buak, Bolero, Swan Lake, The Taming of the Shrew, Cinderella, A la memoire (Mahler), Carmina Burana (Carl Orff) and Orpheus (Stravinsky). She gained critical acclaim in Europe[1] and performed internationally, guesting with the Maurice Béjart's Ballet of the 20th Century in New York in 1977.[2]

In 1995 Savignano began a collaboration with the choreographer Susanna Beltrami, with whom she founded The Lombard Dance Company in 1998. Since 2009 she has served as one of the judges of the talent show of Rai 2 Italian Academy.

gollark: The best* way would probably be a Twitter scraper to determine how much people are talking about each ideology, but their API is really annoying to get access to and you'd need to explicitly compile a list or something.
gollark: I should totally implement this! It would be really easy with a simple hashing-type thing. The hard part would just be finding the political views and determine the weights (as I assume you don't want all politics with the same frequency).
gollark: Consistent political views are for people with consistent political views.
gollark: Alternatively, you could implement a political belief calendar.
gollark: It's not technically *impossible* to move.
