Curating and artistic direction

I  create great scale events which are a spectacular fusion of contemporary circus and Commedia dell’ Arte, dance, music, visual arts: a contemporary celebration of the magic entertainment of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque period.
As an expert  on Commedia dell’Arte and circus arts I consult for Symposia, EU funded projects, theatre and circus schools and theatres. I am artistic consultant on contemporary circus for Italian festivals, theatres, events companies, Culture Departments of major Italian cities.
