Studies.
Degree in Biological Sciences (110 cum laude) with a thesis on "Changes in the levels of thyroid hormones
and cortisol in subjects practicing Hatha Yoga" at the Faculty of Sciences of Turin.
Studies of dance and movement.
I began studying dance in 1977 (smooth and standard dances Italian title in 1984). I continued in 1988 with
contemporary dance and then with ballet.
Teachers : R.Poitier (Graham and Limon technique), Max Luna III (Horton technique), J.Alegado (Limon
technique) and G.Cantello (ballet).
I had the opportunity to study contemporary dance following seminars at the "London Contemporary
Dance School" in London, "R.Hightower Center" of Cannes and the "Centre de Montpellier Coreografique"
with J.Taffanel.
Since 1994, I study "Sensible Danse" of C.Coldy, "on the movement and its expression in various levels of
organic tissues, the verticality and the relationship to the world through the stages of the evolutionary
process" (C.Coldy).
In 1996 I attended the summer workshop Dance Therapy at the "Laban Centre For Movement and Dance"
in London and the workshop "Dance therapy, theory and technique I" in "Italian Art Therapy" in Bologna.
In 2004 I graduated as a teacher in "Danse Sensible" designed and conducted by C.Coldy in collaboration
with JLDupuis and M.Guyon (Osteopaths functional) and I attended training sponsored by TorinoDanza in
collaboration with the Teatro Regio for contemporary dancers (Enter Virgil Sieni, Giorgio Rossi and Roberto
Castello).
Since 2000 I am part of "TECNOLOGIA FILOSOFICA" dance-theater company that produces and organizes
cultural events or social issues ("COMUNI MARZIANI" in 2007, "GYMNASIUM” in 2008, "YY" in 2009,
“EFFETTOSERRA” co-authored with Stefano Botti ).
