On May 23 at around 4 AM. I had an accident. I was in Illinois to film for a movie as an actress. After a beautiful night shoot I was on my way taken by car to the Airbnb. I don’t remember what happened and how it happened. I just remember I open my eyes and I didn’t feel my body. I was taken to Iowa to the wonderful hospital where skilled and kind neurosurgeons saved me. I am recovering slowly the use of my legs and my arms and hands. I am still in Iowa city at the hospital. Looking forward next week to go back home in New York City if all goes well. Unfortunately, the production insurance denied the case and refused to pay any bill. With the loss of work, with an eventual very high bill to pay, I decided to start a medical fundraiser. I’m trying to keep as calm and positive as I can and at the same time I’m trying to get healthy and take care of my self, pay my bills and keep a roof of my head. In New York City, I will go to intensive sessions of PT and OT. I need all the help I can, please share my gofundme everywhere and hopefully, I will feel economically safer and be able to concentrate on healing and not on money issues. Love you all, please help. Yours truly, Bianca Falco, dancer, choreographer, actress, and Pilates instructor.https://gofund.me/e04177d9
Help bring “conamorebia” to to PerformanceIsAlive at SatelliteArtShow during Art Basel Week!
Thanks a Million, Grazie!
Read about the project:
“conamorebia” means “withlovebia”, with love from Bia, Bianca Falco, the artist., is an ongoing project, received the City Artist Corps Grant, presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre.
“conamorebia” is a performance where the passers-by/audience can choose to participate in various forms or be just a spectator. Bianca will operate a portable mini photo printer. She will offer the audience to participate to the performance by choosing a photo to be printed on the spot. The photo should represent a person, or something, they lost or longed for during the pandemic. The audience/passer-by can then just watch or interact with the performer while he/she performs expressing whatever feeling the image evokes. Bianca wishes to create a ritual of sorts: to mourn, to rebuild, to hope and to regain some emotional closeness with fellow humans. In the hope to acknowledge what we were before the pandemic, accept what we are in the present and embrace what we hope to be in the future. Hopefully in collecting images humans can delve into their own roots and emotions, they can choose to join the dance or even express themselves as a family/friends group to express a collective memory/hope. The research, collecting images, movements, can be done in the studio where people are welcome to join the process on set dates and times and/or while Bianca roams the city to meet the community. The ultimate goal is to produce a video dance of the process and an installation with all the printed photos, place, space and date TBD. The performance is inspired by my brother’s passing in 2020. He passed because of Covid in Italy. I wish to have a hopeful feeling coming from the performance. As a child abuse survivor and sickle cell/thalassemia trait person, Art saved my life. I am from Napoli, one of the most creative, challenging cities. Through dance, I learned that I could transcend difficulties through translating them into movement. I hope to lead everyone to a different perception and place, where limitations are beautiful and a key for people to get together and find solutions to social issues as well as personal ones.”

Over the course of three award cycles, more than 3,000 artists will receive $5,000 grants to engage the public with artist activities across New York City’s five boroughs this summer and fall. Artists can use the grant to create new work or phase of a work, or restage preexisting creative activities across any discipline.
Members of the public can participate in City Artist Corps Grants programming by following the hashtag #CityArtistCorps on social media.
City Artist Corps Grants was launched in June 2021 by NYFA and DCLA with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre. The program is funded by the $25 million New York City Artist Corps recovery initiative announced by Mayor de Blasio and DCLA earlier this year. The grants are intended to support NYC-based working artists who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. It is strongly recommended that a portion of the grant be used to support artist fees, both for the applying artist and any other artist that are engaged to support the project.
The Cycle 2 application will open on Tuesday, July 6 at 10:00 AM EDT and will close on Tuesday, July 20 at 10:00 AM EDT. The Cycle 3 application will open on Tuesday, July 27 at 10:00 AM EDT and close on Tuesday, August 10 at 10:00 AM EDT. Please visit NYFA’s website for full details and eligibility requirements.

Bianca Falco: Skin/Toxic/Terrae is an environmental performance about the toxic waste disaster in Campania, Italy, artist Bianca Falco’s native land. Falco started a dialogue with mourning mothers from the region who lost their children to cancer caused by the toxicity of the dirt, water, and air. They wish to stop the illegal toxic waste dumping in the region. Language underlines Falco’s performance, as she narrates the stories rooted in her land-which, she notes, “as an immigrant myself, I long to help and I am deeply tied to. Language is a connection to what I am truly or what I was. The same language allows these mothers to share their loss.”Skin/Toxic/Terrae became more personal as the project’s composer, Falco’s brother, who lived in the area, passed away in July 2020 from non-hodgkin’s lymphoma. Throughout the performance, different actions take place symbolizing the decay of the body due to the environment’s toxicity.
Choreographer and Movement Director for Film, Theater, Video, Events and Model/Advertisement Photo Shoots Bianca Falco explores the interactions, ties between people and between people and objects/living creatures in all situations; combines modern dance with the use of props, costumes, modifying or accentuating the human form and emotions. Labilab creates stage and site-specific performances sometimes involving improvisation, interaction with the audience. Bianca is a well a performer, a teacher, an independent filmmaker and a musician
