I think that since I was young I have favored the tangible and visceral relationship with the body and dance because it allows me to connect with the irrational and mysterious part of my deepest self.
Dance is for me an escape from the banality of reality.

​

​

I'm a contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher of italian origin, based in Belgium where I live since several years.

Movement, imagination and humour are the elements I cannot do without and look for in my daily life.

​

I trained in ballet and contemporary dance in Italy and Switzerland.

Once I arrived in Belgium I started collaborating as a dancer and performer with some local and international artists for dance and circus projects:

Keren Rosenberg, Roy Assaf, Lies Serdons, Poetic Punkers collective, Cie Marie Martinez, Lisbeth Gruwez, Dorian Chavez, Krama Dance Company and this year with the circus company Cie des Chaussons Rouges (creation 2024).

​

I consider myself a curious observer of society and its dynamics.

I am attracted by its resources as well as its contradictions and fragilities.

It is from what I live, from what I feel, from what I observe of society that I draw my inspiration to create.

​

Supported by different Belgian theaters I could make until today four dance & physical theater creations:

"Mucyclo", "Waiting for the fishes" and "En attendant que les poissons passent...".  All of them share a strong physicality and the use of a performative register that appeals to audience interaction, humour and surprise. This year I'm excited to present my new creation, Habemus Naufragium, a dance duet where the french dancer Anna-Maria Besnier Bayon join me as second interpreter and collaborator.

​

 

Since 2015, I have been developing my own pedagogical practice based on improvisation, DIVE, which is inspired by the principles of Gaga body language (which I studied in Tel Aviv with Ohad Naharin and the Batsheva dancers) but which I extend to a personal research. 
DIVE is part of my daily artistic life and I transmit it through classes and workshops in Belgium and abroad (Charleroi Danse, UP circus & performing arts center, Grand Studio/ Nyash dance company, Hybrid Studio/cie bud Blumenthal, Istanbul Fringe festival in Turkey, Dance Days Chania Festival and Kinitira artistic network in Greece).

 

Thai Yoga Massage is an other arts of body and spirit that I have dived into. I consider it the right spice to complete my recipe of body, movement, creation and therapy.
