WORK EXPERIENCE
Over more than two decades, I have led teams of experts and coordinated training programmes for sharing artistic skills and ideas with participants from all over Europe. I collaborate with organisations for community development, promotion of diversity, and inclusion of principles of equality for the benefit of all.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I graduated in Physical and Word Theatre at Centro Danza M. Testa (Rome, Italy). I hold a BA in Performing Arts and the Science of Performance from the University of La Sapienza of Rome – Italy, as well as an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.
My international training and involvement in cultural and art projects across the globe have been instrumental in shaping my career.
I also have the privilege of teaching ‘body and awareness’ courses in various settings, with a special emphasis on working with marginalised youth and fostering intercultural communication.
My diverse educational background has equipped me with the adaptability to thrive in various contexts.
CAREER
My work developed under the umbrellas of Erasmus+, EYF, CERV, EACEA, CSVs, CEI and a myriad of creative initiatives.
I have been a trainer for the national agencies of the Youth, Youth in Action and Erasmus+ program in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Poland since 2009.
CONTRIBUTIONS
For a 15-year stretch, I dedicated myself to the Italian CVS Network, making significant contributions as both a trainer and external consultant.
During my 10 years at the International Network for Culture and Arts (INCA), from 2005 to 2015, innovative training models were developed, in particular “Tools of Animation Training Course”. This initiative was born out of a passionate commitment to engage the youth in social action through innovative methods such as animation, clowning, and theatre, all designed to foster intercultural dialogue.
CURRENT ENGAGEMENTS
- I currently serve as a trainer and theatre expert for Euroactiva-T since 2019.
- My enduring partnership with Link and B-Link has spanned from 2003, working in Italy and beyond.
- I have been a dedicated theatre trainer with Jumbo in Austria since 2009.
