Copywriter and storyteller in corporate communication and social communication, passionate about word, about a word that can become word and body. I studied with Danio Manfredini, Mariano Furlani. I write poems (for Compagnia Marco Gobetti and for personal shows), texts for children and I design and facilitate workshops in which the aim is to activate everyone's expressiveness and to let questions arise from everyone.

The distance from life, the desire to immerse myself in it, touch it and let myself be touched by it are the motive for my search that starts from the word, and then I work by subtraction. Transforming the word into gesture, into action, into life. An elaboration that finds its first artistic expression in the theatre, where the lines, already given, had to find a cause to make themselves voice. To look for what moves and to be moved. To find ways to meet. From the oral word of the theatre, to the lived word, which is a bridge to get to something else, to the body, which unravels to touch the other.

Art becomes the place where to make it happen. What comes to me as beauty, illumination, gash, becomes space. Without the will to explain, but simply by exploring, activating situations, believing that art is the place of possible and possibility, of contact free from fear, where one can let oneself happen and discover that something else is possible.

I start from the word to get to something else. Relational objects, participatory performances are the privileged languages of my work, in an aesthetic that is inspired by a theatre that does not remain bare even if with few superstructure, only bare in the sense of discovered.
