Director, choreographer, performing artist and cultural manager. Born in Argentina, Italian citizen, living in Germany.
Graduated in Computer Science, he worked as a software developer until he discovered Tango. From then he dedicated himself first to dance and teaching Tango, training with outstanding teachers such as Rodolfo Dinzel and Gustavo Naveira. He trained in contemporary dance and theatre, developing projects that work with the merge of tango with other artistic expressions.
He trained in theatrical staging with prominent Argentinean artists such as Rubén Szuchmacher and Emilio GarcÃa Wehbi. He was part of the opera company LÃrica Lado B, where he worked as a choreographer, regisseur and producer in different productions, such as Il sogno di Scipione (Mozart) and Curlew River (Britten). He founded and integrated independent dance and theatre groups where he participated as a performer, choreographer, director and producer. He has developed his work mainly in the field of independent theatre in Argentina.
Since 2008 he has been teaching tango classes, body expression for scenic artists and developing a way of approaching tango dance from wider concepts of improvisation. This way, originally called Tango por Contacto, is based on a research on the deconstruction of elementary principles of tango dance in order to make them available to develop one's own way of dancing tango. From improvisation as a central technique, it works with elements of tango, both in terms of movement and symbolic, that take the dance as a phenomenon of personal identity as well as social.
As a cultural manager, he studied a Master's degree in Cultural Administration at the University of Buenos Aires. He was a founding member and president until 2021 of the Asociación Civil Barbados Artes Escénicas, dedicated to promoting the creation, development, production and divulgation of opera, theatre and dance. One of its main projects is Nanópera, a residency for the creation, publishing and production of small-scale opera. He worked for six years in the management of Machado Teatro, propitiating new artists' proposals in connection with the identity of the independent theater circuit of Buenos Aires City. He was also a member of the Asociación Civil ESCENA, a network of more than forty independent theatres and artistic spaces in the city of Buenos Aires, through which he worked in the areas of institutional relations as well as in the conception and production of festivals. He was part of the founding group that created and produced the New Opera Market, which promoted the meeting between artists and independent theatres for the creation of joint projects. He was also part of the founding group that created and produced the Music Hybridisation Platform, promoting contemporary musical theatre projects.
He has been granted in 2018 by the Williams Foundation to participate in the Winter School of the Festival Nueva Ópera Buenos Aires, an intensive program aimed at creators of new opera. LÃrica Lado B, a group to which he has been a member from 2010 to 2016, has received in 2013 the declaration of cultural interest by the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Argentine Nation and in the same year received the Stimulus Award by the Argentine Association of Music Critics. The opera “Las Guerras Picrocholinas”, by Antonio Tauriello, where he has participated as choreographer, has been awarded in 2014 for the premiere in Argentina by the Argentine Association of Music Critics.
