About Me

...meaning is always something that people make. It is as if the best anyone can do is to give us an outline sketch, and it is then up to us in what way, and to what extent, we flesh it out and colour it in. ( Guy Claxon)...il significato è sempre qualcosa che le persone attribuiscono. Il meglio che uno può fare è affidarci un contorno abbozzato, e sta a noi decidere in che modo, e in quale proporzione, renderlo vita e colorarlo. ( Guy Claxon)The main trust of the work is for dancers to find their own essence, their own identity and integrity and take that into movement. ( Barbara Mahler)Il principale lavoro per i danzatori è quello di trovare la propria essenza, la propria identità ed integrità e trasferirla nel movimento. ( Barbara Mahler)...what can I say to describe myself in few words... Since I was a child, my big passion has always been dance and I worked hard to translate my big dream of becoming a professional dancer in reality. It's been a magical, enriching and very special journey which give me the chance to travel around Europe, to live in different nice towns (London, Geneve, Vevey), to keep developing myself as artist and person, to meet special people and friends all around the world, to perform beautiful choreographies in so many different stages with different audiences, to express all my feelings through the language of my body, to work with great artists who keep giving me such strong inspiration, to be touched with the intensity of all the emotions given to me by my art, by the power of a lovely image, by the deepness of an inspiring book, by the incredible empathy with the music, by people around me...everything so special always part of me.ARTISTIC CV FOR DETAILED VERSION CHECK ON THE BLOGShe studied for 8 years at ACADEMY OF DANCE DOMENICHINO from Piacenza directed by Giuseppina Campolonghi, Michela Arcelli and Elisabetta Rossi.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to stay in touch with my friends spread all over the world and to meet new ones with the same interests, the same love for each form of art.There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated throuhg you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is or how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. ( A. De Mille)C'è una vitalità, una forza esistenziale, un'energia che è tradotta in azione attraverso te stesso, e perchè esiste un solo te stesso in tutti i tempi, questa espressione è unica. E se tu la blocchi, non esisterà mai attraverso altri mezzi e andrà persa. Il mondo non l'avrà. Non è affar tuo giudicare quanto buona sia o quanto sia di valore nè paragonarla alle espressioni degli altri. E' tuo compito conservarla in modo chiaro e diretto per te stesso, mantenere il canale aperto. ( A. De Mille)
