Massimo | Gem Rat
About This Event
Massimo Scali and the dance collective Gem Rat share a bill at Bowery Palace. Scali’s career in competitive ice dance — including a long run of national titles in Italy with partner Federica Faiella and major international podium finishes — informs a disciplined, partner-based movement vocabulary in club settings. Gem Rat, a group with a small online footprint, favors clean structure, careful pacing, and physical detail; their work is built through live context rather than recorded output.
