I am an Italian actor, director, producer, environmentalist and founding artistic director of Hoo Hah House Productions, a critically acclaimed, feminist, eco-friendly production company.
Born and raised in the Eternal City, I found a passion for creating collaborative work since a young age. I graduated in BA World Performance at East15 Acting School and went on to act, stage manage, movement/puppet direct, produce, direct for stage & camera. My CV is a true depiction of my ADHD, a confused bundle of beloved professions I can't choose between.
I directed & produced, BRAVE FACE, a 5-star, award winning, international play and am now working on developing it as a tv series with my production company Hoo Hah House.
I collaborated on an array of projects from all sides and roles for wonderful & international companies and shows such as Concept Theatre - 'I'm just a little bit OCD', APS Echoes - 'So... you knew?', Response Ability Theatre, 'NoMad' and so on.
I strive to create environmentally conscious shows in the most friendly and accessible environment. When I an not creating, I am protesting, upside down doing acrobatics or cooking pasta.
I was very lucky to turn their passion into a successful career. I am always looking to tell new and good stories, so if you have an idea or would like to share ideas, please get in touch. Looking forward to doing some great art together!
