His dance is oriented towards abstraction, typical of the American techniques with which he was trained. The choreographic landscapes that he draws in his works seem to refer from time to time to distant and unknown worlds, in which dance presents itself as a horizon free from interpretation and classification.
He often works in natural outdoor environments, preferably in the most rugged and wild landscapes, environments that probably influence the atmospheres of his works, making them sometimes telluric, sometimes evanescent and ethereal.
After a first phase of choreographic experimentation in which he also deepened his studies on popular culture and the European fairy tale, on oriental myths and primitive myths, in the next phase he landed on a personal choreographic landscape, moving so far into the abstraction of a dance in which we often find movements that tend to curl like vortices of air that embroider the space, improvised unfoldings of technical complexity, undulatory movements that lightly cross the space, accelerations and slownesses, complex choreographic designs of intertwined bodies, undulating movements like wild animals, fragmented movements as creatures from other worlds, in very different works that draw unclassifiable landscapes.
Fabrizio studied classical ballet with Denis Carey, Victor Litvinov, Sue Carlton Jones. Contemporary techniques with Andé Peck, Roberta Garrison, Jeff Slayton, Betty Jones, Nina Watt, Irene Hultmann, Louise Burns, Alwin Nicholais.
