Actor, performance artist, director, teacher.

I have been taking my shows all over the world since 2007. I do it with passion and with the awareness of a mission: to tear down what divides us, to show us how similar we are. My art (my ambition) is to bring smiles and excitement to anyone of any age or nationality.

This is why I chose the Art of Mime: to tell stories without worrying about language barriers.

With the same passion and enthusiasm, I teach the Art of Theater and Mime through professional courses, with intensive workshops and online courses.

My teaching method has been developed over more than a decade of research and refinement, blending elements of Jacques Lecoq’s Physical Theater, scientific studies of human perception, and principles of figurative art and design.

Because Mime is an art that combines Fantasy and Technique, Art and Science (which in ancient times, we know, were one and the same).

Mime is a timeless Art that overcomes the barriers that divide us.
