I am a dancer, researcher, and embodied coach, currently Adjunct Professor in the Strategy Department at the University of Monaco. I work at the intersection of practice and theory, driven by a central inquiry: how do we think, perceive, and make decisions through the body?

I engage with the body as a living source of knowledge. My work is grounded in a long-term, lived engagement with embodied practice — in how we sense, learn, and create meaning through experience.

After a career as a professional dancer, I pursued academic studies in Political Science and Innovation, leading to a PhD in Management Studies at ESCP. Paris. 

I bring together two worlds that rarely meet: the intelligence of the body and the logic of organizations.. I have lived both, and my work emerges from this tension.

My artistic path began in classical dance in Italy and shifted toward contemporary and Tanztheater after encountering the work of Pina Bausch. I later performed with the opera houses of Bonn and Bremen before moving to the United States, where I immersed myself in the legacy of postmodern dance. In New York, I worked in the studios of Trisha Brown; in San Francisco, I trained extensively in Contact Improvisation.

Between these contexts, I continued my research alongside influential figures such as Simone Forti, Steve Paxton, Lisa Nelson, Kirstie Simson, K.J. Holmes, Katie Duck, and Yvonne Meier, as well as within informal and often invisible communities of practice that sustain and transmit this work.

Improvisation progressively became central to my work — not only as an artistic practice in dance and writing, but as a way of navigating uncertainty, relating, and making decisions.

Through over 40 years of practice in dance and somatic approaches — including Contact Improvisation, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering, the Alexander Technique, and Authentic Movement — my research has focused on a set of fundamental questions:
