about me
My path lies at the crossroads of dance, theatre, visual arts, pedagogy and mathematics, as a research practice that places the body at the centre of learning processes. These are not separate fields, but territories that cross and transform each other.
I began very early with dance, at the Accademia Nazionale di Danza, where I encountered a first form of discipline and listening to the body. Over time this experience expanded through practices such as Cunningham technique, release, contact improvisation, floor work, instant composition and danza sensibile, directing my attention towards gesture as a process, in relation to space, rhythm and perception.
My theoretical training in Theatre and Performing Arts (degree, 2006), together with my encounter with theatre — from Grotowski-inspired practices to the Living Theatre, up to circus arts and overtone singing — helped to shape my vision of the stage as a space of composition between languages. Working with Giorgio Barberio Corsetti in the performance Metafisico Cabaret strengthened this perspective, opening up a performative dimension where body, image and sound enter into dialogue.
From 2004, through the SCREAM project (Supporting Children's Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media) of the International Labour Organization, my work turned towards pedagogy. Since then I have led workshops and training programmes in which theatre and dance become tools to activate processes of awareness, expression and shared meaning-making.
In 2006 I co-founded the company Immobile Paziente, creating co-constructed performance projects such as Tutto di Prima, Animale Omega and K465, and collaborating as performer and visual artist with various artistic organisations. In the last years of my performance work, the analysis of narrative structures led me to the project Sole e acciaio; the interaction between body, space, sound and video to the projects Dis_tanz and Bradamante; memory and image-thinking to the project Nodi.
A central aspect of my research is the attention to lifelong practices, among them shiatsu: a way of understanding the body as a place of listening, relationship and transformation, which runs through both my artistic and pedagogical work.
In 2013 I obtained a degree in Primary Education Sciences and a specialisation course in Special Pedagogy; I also specialised in the teaching of Italian as a Second Language, with a master's degree on the organisation of schools with high migrant impact. In recent years my educational practice has interwoven with the didactics of mathematics and teacher training, where movement and the arts become tools to explore abstract concepts through experience.
The thread that runs through my work is a search for integration between sensible experience and knowledge. The body is a threshold: a place where perception, imagination and thought meet, and learning becomes a living, shared process.
In 2026 I returned to artistic research practice with the project What is mathematics?.
