Marco Giammetti, born in Rome, studied mime at “La Strada”, a Roman mime school, and the art of mask making with Donato Sartori.
In the USA in 1987, Marco Giammetti, in collaboration with Carol Hendrickson, co-founded Spiritree to pursue his artistic endeavors in the fields of gestural theatre, puppetry and the visual arts. He works both in the USA and Italy.
Since 1988, he has created and performed in Spiritree’s theatrical events such as the Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors Festival in New York City, First Night Morris County, USA, the Roman Festival of Urban Theatre, and from 1994 through 2012, the culminating performances created during Spiritree’s annual summer workshops on Art and Creativity, held in various locations in Italy.
From 1989 to present, Marco has conducted over 300 artist-in-residency projects in schools in NJ and NY as part of the public school program, “Artists in Education”.
Besides being both a performer and teaching artist, Marco’s specialty lies in the creation of masks and in the art of papier mâché.
