su di me-about me
My work is situated at the intersection of dance, theatre, visual arts, pedagogy, and mathematics, as a research practice that places the body at the center of learning processes. These are not separate fields, but territories that intersect and transform one another: movement becomes a way of thinking, knowing, and building relationships.
I began studying dance at an early age at the National Academy of Dance, where I encountered an initial form of discipline and bodily awareness. Over time, this experience expanded through practices such as Cunningham technique, release, contact improvisation, and instant composition, shaping my attention toward gesture as a process, in relation to space, rhythm, and perception.
My studies in DAMS and my encounter with theatre — from Grotowskian practices to the Living Theatre and circus arts — contributed to defining my understanding of the stage as a space where different languages are composed together. Working with Giorgio Barberio Corsetti in Metafisico Cabaret further strengthened this perspective, opening up a performative dimension in which body, image, and sound interact.
Since 2004, through the SCREAM project (Supporting Children’s Rights through Education, the Arts and the Media) of the International Labour Organization (ILO), my work has been oriented toward pedagogy. Since then, I have led workshops and training processes in educational contexts, where theatre and dance become tools to activate awareness, expression, and shared meaning-making.
In 2006, I co-founded the company Immobile Paziente, creating collaboratively developed performance projects such as Tutto di Prima, Animale Omega, and K465, while also collaborating as a performer and visual artist with various artistic contexts.
A central aspect of my research is the attention to long-life practices, including shiatsu, which have deepened my understanding of the body as a place of listening, relationship, and transformation. This dimension informs both my artistic and pedagogical work.
Over the years, my educational practice has intertwined with mathematics education and teacher training, alongside an academic research path in these areas. Within this field, movement and the arts become tools for exploring abstract concepts through experience, opening spaces where thinking takes form through the body and relationships.
The thread that runs through my work is a continuous search for integration between sensory experience and knowledge. The body becomes a threshold: a place where perception, imagination, and thought meet. Learning thus emerges as a living, shared process capable of generating awareness, creativity, and transformation.
