As a cultural anthropologist, performer, movement analyst, and visual artist, she is continually carrying out projects, which explore the relationship between body and space, body and identity, body and society, body and migration, body and health, and seek to open up other potential fields where research with and through the body is possible.
Her multi-disciplinary background began with a training in dance and theatre. She moved to New York, USA, where she received her Diploma in Body Movement Analysis. This embodied approach to movement and consciousness uses a combined methodology of studies and physical training: Rudolf Laban’s principles of harmony and efficiency of body movement in space; the physical re-education and therapeutic method of Irmgard Bartenieff; and studies in non-verbal communication, developmental, and somatic studies, which draw on Body-Mind Centering. She returned to Italy, where she gained her BA in Ethno-Cultural Anthropology. In her studies, she focused on issues of perception of the Self and of the World, as rooted in cultural, social, and psychological patterns. Then she moved to London, where she gained her MA in Anthropology of the Body and Health of the XXI° Century, which allowed her to deepen her knowledge of the human body in bio-medical sciences, western and oriental philosophies, religions, and cultures of the World.view less
