As a professional dancer, she relies on improvisation as a foundation for her work. She believes that It is through the freedom of movement that one is able to breathe, let go, and connect with inner self. In her practice, she often uses imagination, visualising nature or animals, as a way to escape the busyness of reality and enter a more peaceful state.

Krux
A look, a gesture, a word –
like poison in our souls
insults, that hit us at the core
like a feverish infection
an enormous destructive energy
ignited like an invisible fuse –
What is a grievance? When does a slight begin? Have I offended you?
I offend in order to punish.
Offended, I cringe. I offend myself.
I offend someone else because I have been offended.

St(r)ate
“**St(r)ati** is an introspective dance solo exploring self-discovery and societal conformity pressures. This performance delves into the struggle of shaping one’s persona within defined social standards. It represents the layers of identity constructed to fit in, often leading to a superficial expression of self.
The solo navigates the impact of societal pressures on mental health, illustrating the tension between external expectations and embracing vulnerabilities. The narrative journey transitions from confusion and anxiety to acceptance and self-love, portraying the universal experience of feeling inadequate yet ultimately rediscovering one’s true self.
Inspired by the investigation of societal pressures‘ effects on anxiety and self-acceptance, **St(r)ati** aims to shed light on these challenges and inspire others to embrace their true identities.
Music: Bastian Iglesias, Original Sound – David Toop, Sea Slug – Christian Löffler, The Great White Open.

The Importance of Being Myself
“The Importance of being myself” wants to represent how complex it can be to present ourselves for the first time to an unknown audience. Which aspects of our personality do we want to highlight, and which other aspects do we want to leave hidden away? We will attempt to display our strengths and hide our fears and insecurities instead.
But although our planned presentation seems perfect, there is the reaction of our spectators to be taken into consideration . What if we should have highlighted some other aspect of our character for this type of audience and situation?
We just need to get rid of the conventional world we have created around us, we should not just show what society standards and demands are forcing us to show, we are beautiful flawed human beings. We must be aware and certain of our personality and play our cards in the best possible way. We have to accept now, now more than ever, ourselves without judgment. We should find that perfect balance between strength and weakness that characterises ourselves as unique and makes us confident individuals.

Has Someone Seen Tyler Durden?
„Has Someone Seen Tyler Durden?“ it is inspired, interpreted and is a tribute, to „Fight Club“, a now cult novel by Chuck Pahlaniuk, a true milestone of contemporary literature of which the homonymous and wonderful film transposition is also present.
A society alienated in itself, alienating and annihilated by the prevailing consumerism, by the neurosis of appearing perfect at all costs.
It is the dissociation of modern man with all his pathetic contradictions. It is the emptiness of representing one another in a sterile image that has nothing of itself, of its destiny as the only unrepeatable individual, of its own exclusive originality.
The choreographic work starts from the analysis of the alter ego created by the exhausting oppression that modern society imposes on every single individual. The two dancers, one the reflected image of the other, are involved in a whirlwind of confusion generated by the continuous confrontation with the other part of themselves. We are therefore facing the two sides of the same medal, unable to accept the existence of each other, in constant struggle of overpowering.

Separazione Naturale
A couch. Three women. Three different stories, three individual worlds. Three bodies undergoing a complete transformation when in contact with the couch, three minds naturally and inevitably coming apart from their bodies to land in an extravagant world where the couch is halfway between dream and reality.
