Il Posto was born to Venice from the partnership between choreographer Wanda Moretti and musician Marco Castelli and from then rigorously pursues its own artistic project, creating productions and performances in a scenic writing that fuses dance, architecture and music. Il Posto is an Italian testimonial of vertical dance, known for the uniqueness of its creations closely connected to the city, vertical stages par excellence such as buildings, towers, industrial buildings. The language used by the Company has two founding elements: vertical dance, understood as the body moving on a vertical plane and the first source of inspiration, and music, an integral part of the work, written specifically for the choreographies and performed live in the performances.

A choreographer and researcher, she has deepened her study of dance around systems of proportion and harmony of space. Among the pioneers of European vertical dance in the 1990s, she developed its practice by creating a specialized technique, creating performances where space and movement merge into a single scene. Thanks to his fascination with vertical writing always "in process" in architectures and his deep interest in the territory and landscape, his creations have participated to international events and festivals. Today Moretti continues his research on vertical planes and architecture by directing his attention to site-specific creations, ideal cues to reflect on the past and future. Since 2018 he has directed the Vertical Dance Centre, a former industrial space equipped for vertical dance, the Company's mother house, a place for experimentation and dissemination. In 2022 he published Vertical Dance: perceiving and creating space for Ephemeria Editions.

A saxophonist, composer and producer, he is an eclectic artist whose activity takes place not only in jazz but also in theater, dance and the vast territory of intermedial performance.
