She starts to dance in Milano, where she studies contemporary dance with Elena Albano, Enzo Procopio, Davide Montagna.
In 1999 she moves to the Netherlands to study at the Fontys Dansacademie in Tilburg, then she continues and finishes her studies at the Theatreschool in Amsterdam ( Modern Theatre Dance department).
Between 2001 and now she has danced in pieces by Phuong Nguyen, Ingrid Dalmeijer (de Meekers), Valentina Campora, Nicola Hepp, Maria Ines Villasmil, Martine Moulart, Pauline de Groot and Laura Moro.
In 2005 she works with composer Thomas Myrmel and vocalist Anat Spiegel. Together they form the collective Glue and create and present “Sea Lawyers”and “Please come in, Please Wait” in the Netherlands at the residency CESTA, in Tabor, CZ.
Her own creations include a dance video “Access, Platform, Compartment (2004)”, “There , where some sea birds whose name I didn’t know”(2006) a solo that she continues to perform, and “Lo Spazio Nudo”(2006) a piece that she created for a group of vocalists and dancers. This last work was inspired by a previous research into the relationship between voice and movement, in which the group of vocalists and dancers worked together to find a common language that would fuse movement and voice work. In her movement research she is interested in finding the subtle balance between narrative and abstraction.
In 2007 she collaborates as apprentice with Magpie Music Dance Company, taking part in projects such as Wonderland and MD301. She continues to collaborate in those as well as other Magpie projects.
In 2008 she collaborates with composer George Cremaschi creating Not [exactly] Here.
