I am an Italian-born dance artist, former New Yorker and current Berlin resident. I am a dancer, choreographer and self-taught filmmaker. 

I started working as a professional dancer in Italy with Junior Balletto di Toscana and Kaos-Balletto di Firenze. In 2007 I moved to NY and worked with acclaimed dance companies such as: Armitage Gone! Dance, The Metropolitan Opera, Pigeonwing Dance, Indelible Dance and Rebecca Kelly Ballet touring in the US, Europe and Asia.

I have been featured in music videos by artists like: Grammy Award winning band Pentatonix, Confidence Man, Chad Valley, Reggie Watts and Mira Cook.

Since moving to Berlin, I performed with independent projects and directors like Ersan Mondtag, theater collective Panzerkreuzer Rotkäppchen and TanzOrtNord, and danced at Deutsche Oper Berlin (Antikrist, Elektra, die Fledermaus, Les Vêpres Siciliennes, Un Ballo in Maschera, Pique Dame) and Staatsoper Berlin (Die schweigsame Frau). 

As a choreographer, I created for institutions and festivals like: NOTAGALLERY, NFT Art Berlin, TanzOrtNord Festival (DE), Framed (DE), Indelible Dance Company (NYC), Joffrey Ballet School (NYC), e-Luminate Festival (UK), Officine Caos (IT), Periapsis Music and Dance (NYC). My first full-length work “We hate pink!”, created in collaboration with SueKi Yee, recently premiered at ada Studio Berlin. I was a founding choreographer of Pratiche di Slancio (youth dance ensemble, IT,) and I was a winner of the Teatro Stalker (IT) residency in 2017. I am a two times recipient of the grant Dis-Tanz-Solo (2021 and 2022) to further my choreographic research with film. I also enjoy collaborating with artists of all mediums, recent collaborations include generative artist Alida Sun, composer Francesco Beccaro and mixed media artist Alive Brunello Luise.

Other teaching credits include: company classes for Deutsche Oper Berlin, Cherylyn Lavagnino Dance, Rebecca Kelly Ballet and TanzOrtNord in addition to being part of the rotating faculty at Marameo, Tanzfabrik, Center of Dance (Berlin), Peridance NYC and NYC Community Ballet.
