I work in Performance Art, Mixed Media Art, Theater (comedy, tragicomic, dramatic), Musicals, Singing, Photography, Music, Poetry, Writing, Show Hosting and Entertainment. I'm also experiencing ventriloquy. I am a multifaceted performer, author, actress, singer, musician, writer, photographer, and videomaker.
I love improvisation and experimenting with synesthesia between various aesthetic languages.
I started playing piano when I was 8 years old. I began writing songs and poems when I was 11 years old, exploring the liberating power of musical and artistic expression. Using costumes, sets, and poses, when I was 12 years old I asked to be photographed to look at me beyond my imagination.
My curiosity and inner need to experience new forms of knowledge and expression, manifested itself from an early age, not only through musical exploration but also through the body language, as I attended artistic gymnastics classes for four years. I especially enjoyed improvisation exercises, when I could express myself freely and invent choreography. In my free time, I devoted myself to composing poetry and music, singing, photographing, and studying the piano.
During summer holidays in the countryside with my grandparents, I enjoyed inventing imaginative games and stories to act out, involving my childhood friends as actors and actresses. I was fascinated by materials and I invented an instrument that played with rusty nails driven into a Styrofoam box.
In school I excelled in the humanities and arts. When I read my essays in middle school, the whole class listened enchantedly to my philosophical and existential disquisitions. In science, I remember running chemistry experiments in class using all the equipment from my parents' lab. I really liked the colors, the geometries of the ampoules and the changes in the reactions.
The first time I went into my parents' chemical laboratory, I was fascinated by the photocopier, which I had never seen before. So I used all the office supplies available to create geometric compositions, which I photocopied onto large sheets of paper, which I then joined together to create new shapes to photocopy, assemble, and color.
I also did well in science subjects, but I favored the others, and I won a scholarship so I could continue studying and enroll in the new high school science course that the school was starting for the first time.
Between middle school and the early years of high school, I lived through my dark, gothic and bohemian period. I had set up disrupted installations in my room with candles, soft lights, cobwebs made of nylon threads of torn stockings, snakes and rubber bats, dry branches and a life-size doll lying on the bed, completely covered in veils.
I photographed decaying carcasses and cracks in the walls, and I always carried with me a talismanic ring in the shape of a red and black dragon, which I spoke to and fed during meals.
Despite the scholarship, after two years, I decided to change schools and try public school.
I graduated from high school in 1992 with a scientific high school diploma.
Since 1993, while attending the degree course in Chemistry and then the one in Demo-Ethno-Anthropology Literature, I played in a reggae band, performing as a singer-songwriter, keyboardist and backing vocalist. In that period we set up a clay laboratory complete with oven, slips and enamels. I created small sculptures and even a play ocarina.
During those years, I also remember the parties for the moon, playing djembe, dancing and singing.
In 1995, I began studying and experimenting with theater (Stanislavsky method), diction, opera singing, and jazz singing with Maria Pagano, a multifaceted professional qualified in interpretation techniques, acting, stage presence, psychology, music therapy, as well as a musician, composer, and painter. I have participated as actress, host, and singer in various theatrical productions, musicals, and entertainment shows by her directed.
In 2002 I obtained a degree in Literature, Demo-Ethno-Anthropology, at the La Sapienza University of Rome, with a final grade of 110 cum laude with my thesis: "At school with the Griots: Senegalese migrants and intercultural encounters ". In those years I attended the dance course with Sunu Africa, a family of griots from the National Ballet of Senegal, a successful musical group. My thesis was inspired by intercultural encounters through the language of dance and percussion, for an "anthropology of encounter" focused on themes such as identity and change, body and performance, and the dialectic between identity and otherness.
Through the relationality and versatility of socially recognized and shared bodily techniques of performance, imposed cultural boundaries are transcended to reflect on the opacity of the "self" and the "other." This transversal, multidisciplinary approach sees the union of art and science, body and mind, individual and collective, continuity and change. Performance and the shared recognition of our multiple expressive and artistic capabilities thus become a social tool for knowledge and inclusion, a bridge that crosses the boundaries and limits of the coercive separations imposed by Western culture, stimulating the renewal of the individual and the collective.
From 2007 to 2014 I was a backing vocalist and keyboardist in Bloomy Roots, an all-female reggae band founded in 2004 with participation in various concerts and collaborations in Italian and international reggae contests (2006 Rototom Sunsplash, 2007 Villaggio Globale in Rome opening for Black Uhruru's live, 2009 opening concert for Mr Derrick Morgan, 2010 collaboration with the first DJ in the history of reggae Sister Nancy with the creation of the song entitled Me a cute, 2010 third place in the national competition MArteLive. Collaborations with artists such as Radici nel Cemento, Roots in the sky, Villa Ada, Tribù Acustica).
In 2010, I attended reggaeton courses at the Duende della Danza school, as well as reggae-dancehall evenings during concerts with Bloomy Roots and trips to Jamaica.
Since 2014, I have experimented with writing and performing original comic, tragicomic, and dramatic monologues, as an author, actress, and director. I experiment with Mixed Media Art performances, synergistically and transversally involving the influences of interior and dream language with the languages of the body, stage, theater, music, and photography. In June 2023, I participated in Zelig Open Mic – Areazelig Theater, Milan, and then moved on to the online voting process. In March 2024, I attended the Acting Workshop directed by Flavia Poerio.
