BIO | DANCE ARTIST

I am originally from Guardistallo (PI), a medieval village in Tuscany, Italy.

I started dancing at the age of 6 and studied ballet and contemporary dance with Paolo granello, Emilio Calcagno, Lucia Gabellieri and Roberta Furlan.

In 2014, I moved to London where I graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2018 gaining a First Class Honour Degree in BA contemporary dance.

Within my training, I performed works by Rahel Vonmoos, Yael Flexer, Alison Curtis-Jonson and Lizzie Kew Ross.

In season 2018-2019, I was a member of Transitions Dance Company touring internationally works by Karole Armitage, Marina Collard and Hetain Patel.

Throughout my training, I attended various Gaga intensives in Italy, London and Amsterdam. In 2017, I undertook an internship with Batsheva Dance Company in Tel Aviv and Johannes Wieland in Kassel, Germany.

As a freelancer, I have performed in stage productions, TV series, site specific works, galleries, outdoor spaces and music videos. I have worked with different artists and choreographers such as Michalis Theophanous and Georgia Tegou, Juice Shuting and Jason Tang, Laura Kenyon (Womanewer), Laura Engholm (Engholm Danseteater), Tommy Cattin (EREM DANCE- www.eremdance.com), Maxine Doyle, amongst others. I have also worked with the London fashion brand EMINANDPAUL and performed in the video editorial for the 2022’s spring collection. (www.eminandpaul.com).

I am the co-founder of VI.SA. Dance Project together with the Italian dance artist Sara Maurizi (www.saramaurizidance.com)

In 2022, the collective was awarded with the DYCP by Art Council England to start developing its own artistic practice.

Our first piece "(R)esistentia, created and performed by us two, premiered at Umbria Danza Festival in July 2022. (see VI.SA. DANCE PROJECT)

Since 2021, I have been working as a dance teacher for many companies and organizations including Greenwich Dance, Age UK, Wee Movers, Moving Waves, Masters of Ballet Academy, Gems Performing Arts, Stars Performing Arts, Dance & Arts, amongst others. I am experienced in leading dance for well-being classes in community centres to elderly people, dance classes and workshops to adults, children and young people as well as professional classes to dancers.

As a creator, I have choreographed "The Five Components", a dance piece developed with professional and non-professional dancers and I am currently developing a new solo work that explores the life and death cycle in the everyday life. The research delves into the universal human experience of constant transformation and flux. Just as nothing remains static, we all navigate the repeated cycles of formation, continuance, dissolution and renewal.

I have been supported by the "Free Space programme" by Studio Wayne McGregor and The Lodge Space in London.
