Artistic director of the national screendance contest “La Danza in 1 minuto” (8 editions) and of “Campo Largo”, the first Italian artistic residency focused on screendance, a cross-media creative incubator between dance, video, sound design, performance site specific and territorial storytelling. She also is Executive Producer of transmedia dance projects, such as “re – FLOW” and “Zona Martiska”.

COORPI is a cultural non – profit organization, gathering dancers, choreographers , teachers and professionals working in the dance field on different levels. The association was founded in November 2002 to commend choreutic professionals by supporting their professional and creative development, develop new interaction’ processes between artists and local communities, engage new audiences, promote training and research on contemporary dance and to encourage new forms of collaboration and networking, providing a dynamic space for discussion and dialogue between its members, local communities, regional and national institutions.
Since 2011, COORPI has focused on projects with a strong multimedia and interactive component, combining dance, video, social media and the development of interdisciplinary expressive formats to improve creative and physical narrative across the body and relaunching screendance production and dissemintaion on a national scale.
In this direction the association’s intervention strategies voluntarily place themselves on a liminal position of experimentation between different artistic expression and call in to question a multiplicity of “actors” in the artistic, technical and economic field, imagining production, training and distribution as an organic process.
All this has accredited and consolidated the strategic positioning of the organization both at a national and international level, as subject devoted to promoting broader and new audiences for dance, with a major focus on youngsters (<30).
