Melania is an Italian choreographer, movement director, dramaturg, and performance curator based in Amsterdam. She holds a Master’s degree in Film, Television, and Media Production, a BA in Performing Arts, and a Diploma in Contemporary Dance. Her artistic practice blends embodied research, social inquiry, and multidisciplinary composition. She creates performances rooted in deep investigation, translating themes of collective relevance into physical language. Often working across sound, text, and visual media, Melania approaches movement as something that arises from layered stimuli, memory, and lived experience, never in isolation. Central to her process are empathy, transformation, and listening, which she embraces as both creative tools and ethical commitments. She studied across Italy, Spain, and the UK, enriching her perspective through diverse cultural and artistic contexts. Her wide background in film studies, various dance traditions, and a deep passion for the fine arts continually leads her to create connective, interactive spaces—environments shaped not only by dance, but by a broader sensory and relational experience.
