A bit about me:
As the first born in Canada of a Northern Italian/German family, growing up in Ontario and Quebec we spoke English at home, French at school, and Italian with my grandparents. As a child I could be found with my nose glued to a tv/film screen watching early films (1880’s - 1940’s), reading the classics, or geekily conducting Beethoven’s Fifth in our basement. As a teenager, I practically spent my life on our high-school stage.
After degrees and training in music, theatre, dance, history, archaeology and interdisciplinary studies, like many, I find my life has been like a dish of noodles - full of twists and turns. Though at times quite tasty, things have not turned out exactly as expected.
In these noodle-like twists and turns, life has offered new experiences and a wide variety of skills; working in everything from Event management, creating workshops, catering, independent bookstores, to Federal Government and somehow, 15 years in national museums. I've also worked in film and theatre; as an actor, movement coach, assistant director, production assistant, and ... the list goes on. In addition to creating and performing my own shows. Yet, still I only dabbled - mainly out of fear - never taking a full commitment, plunging into the work.
A major U-Turn moment came when I attended the International Workshop for the Comic Actor, led by Maestro A. Fava. A dream come true! http://www.antoniofava.com/en/
After a severe case of stage fright, I decided it's time to stop hiding, and say yes to sharing!
Time to delve in, and put all my training, experience and skills into reaching out to you with projects and services - at their core, a passion for physical performance work and coaching.
Welcome to my website detailing my current areas of focus: A short Film Series, Voice over, Podcast, Translation, and a mixed-media Theatre production.
My goal is to inspire and to create a safe, comforting and vibrant space for our stories - with all their fascinating, quirky twists.
