I am a theatre maker, performer, director, facilitator, lecturer and researcher dedicated to socially engaged theatre.
My work is concerned with social engagement, belonging and how the participation in the creative process can contribute to the expansion of identities. Beyond individual change, I also believe in the power of arts to bring about social change by creating a platform for political issues to be raised and discussed. In particular, I specialise on Refugees, Asylum and Displacement and Women's Rights.
After moving to the UK in 2008 from Italy, and completing an MA in Applied Theatre at Goldsmiths University, I have been working in London and internationally as a facilitator in socially engaged theatre for a number of organisations, institutions and museums.
For Pan Intercultural Arts I devised, delivered and evaluated several long term theatre projects designed to elevate the voices of young refugees and female survivors of human trafficking. From 2014 to 2022 I was the Project Director of Future, Pan’s theatre group for unaccompanied asylum seeking children.
In 2013, together with Nina Feldman, I founded Feedback Theatre to explore socio-political issues through performance. Our first piece No Feedback is an immersive theatrical event based on the 10 Stages of Genocide (Dr. Gregory Stanton, Genocidewatch), that combines human rights research with physical theatre, 13 Moons explored menstrual stigma and taboo and our latest project Luna is a theatre group that brings together women from all over the world, who have survived forced displacement and gender based violence.
As an Associate Artist of award-winning physical theatre company The PappyShow I have performed and contributed to the devising of Girls, Care, Wait Til The End and What Do You See (London Mime Festival, Latitude Festival, Vaults Festival, Barbican, Home Manchester, New Diorama Theatre, The North Wall Oxford, The Old Market Brighton, Shoreditch Town Hall etc.)
I am an Associate Lecturer in the MA Applied Theatre at Goldsmiths College and a visiting lecturer at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and other UK universities. I am a PhD candidate at Queen Mary University of London. My practice-based research interrogates the healing qualities of devised collaborative theatre making in particular in the context of forced displacement.
