I'm a roaming Italo-Brazilian performer working in various cross-border performance, theatre and live art projects.
Using the potential of performance as 'encounter', my work tends to manipulate, activate and connect different facets of how we perceive the culturally implicated body, exploring its physical and conceptual distortions. I'm particularly interested in nurturing opportunities for exchange and collaborative transformation.
I began my formal theatre studies in Porto Alegre (Brasil) at the University of Rio Grande do Sul (DAD/UFRGS) and TEPA. In 2000 I moved to England where I studied at the The Desmond Jones School of Mime and Physical Theatre (London) and graduated in Theatre and Visual Arts Practices from Dartington College of Arts (Devon). Throughout the years I have also undertaken training in various physical practices (such as Anthropological Theatre, Acrobatics, Butoh, Kalaripayattu, Yoga, Kung Fu) as well as performance methodologies/strategies (with practitioners such as Goat Island, Lone Twin, John Britton, Split Britches, Sue Palmer, Misha Myers).
I'm a founding member of the London based Immersive Theatre company Living Structures
and a core member of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra, led by mexican artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña.

Sou uma performer Ítalo-Brasileira deambulante. Trabalho em diversos projetos transfronteiriços de Performance, Teatro Colaborativo e Live Art.
Fazendo uso do potencial da performance como 'encontro', meu trabalho tende a manipular, ativar e conectar diferentes facetas do corpo culturalmente implicado, explorando suas distorções físicas e conceituais. Interesso-me em especial por nutrir oportunidades de intercâmbio e transformação colaborativa.
