About me

I entered professional Stage Management relatively recently, but I’ve been in the theatre field, both as amateur and professional, for many years. Theatre is my ideal working environment. I turned to Stage Management after trying different departments and wishing for a job where I could pour and mix various competences/interests/experiences and my natural inclination to planning and coordinating. I am also looking for opportunities as Assistant Director (some experience already) and in a longer perspective I am interested in Light Designing.
In september 2017 I moved from Italy to Croatia, supported by an Erasmus+ scholarship. After six months of traineeship I was offered a couple of collaborations as Assistant Director-Dramaturg and then my current one-year-engagement as Stage Manager. My role and responsibility vary depending on production needs. Among my latest and most demanding experiences: leading a Sunset Boulevard production and coordinating an experimental project mixing opera and new technologies (synthetizers, motion capture systems).
Additional skills:
Highly developed language skills (writing, text comprehension, foreign-language learning) and good general culture. Painting, singing, notions of archery and taiji-quan.
Good interpersonal skills: positive and cooperative, friendly but firm, patient, good listener. Strong dedication, attention to detail. Orientation to problem-solving. Versatile and suited for both autonomous and team work. Love for challenges and variety, strong intellectual curiosity.
