About

Since 2014 I’ve been working in the world of dance, collaborating with festivals, choreographic centres, and artists, weaving together communication, digital design, and writing.

My professional path moves between words and movement. Next to communication, I’ve developed my practice as a dance dramaturg: a friendly, shapeshifting figure who accompanies, listens, and translates. I bring a dramaturgical gaze to my work with artists, in encounters with audiences and communities, and in participatory projects—using writing to give voice to creative processes and document them.

From 2022 to June 2025, I was head of communication for Dance Well – movement and research for Parkinson’s. I served on the board of EDN – European Dance Development Network and partnered with the Aerowaves network roles through which I continue to build bridges between artists and institutions, between practices and cultural policies, between dance and citizenship.

I believe in dance as a transformative force. I’ve experienced firsthand its power to shift perspectives and change lives. That’s why I love collaborating on projects that connect dance and health (both physical and mental), educational initiatives, and writing journeys that intertwine art and life. I approach dramaturgy as a relational practice—one that generates context, listening, and accessibility.
For me, dramaturgy, together with documentation and the creation of archives, means taking care of traces, of words, of people. My work also expands into curatorship and the creation of living archives, where memory is activated through gesture and voice.

Among my many identities, I’ve also been a teacher of Italian for foreigners in France.

I write, accompany, and observe. Every project is an opportunity to transform the way we tell our stories, move, and meet.
