Florence, Italy

Performance art

I was born in Siena, Italy and now live between Firenze and New York. Traveling is a great gift.
My research is a journey towards self-knowledge. My tools are foreign exchanges, music, dance, art, astrology. My training comes from academic traditions and from oral traditions. I teach Italian folk music and dance and Florentine Renaissance art (New York University in Florence and Vassar College, NY) and work as a licensed tour guide in Florence, Italy. Both my performance work and my teachings are the fruit and the seed of my spiritual quest whose direction is in the accommplishment of wholeness. RESIDENCY PROJECT: "The Dance of the Sun", a dance piece based on the symbology of numbers 3, 7, and 9, and on the motion of planets. This piece was first presented at opening of the art exhibit ASTRALIA in Venice, Italy, May 2008.
