Margherita (she/her) is an Italian dance artist based in Brussels, Belgium. After studying acting in Milano she moved to Cologne where she finished her Bachelor in contemporary dance at the University for Music and Dance. Beside working as freelance dancer for various choreographer in Germany and Belgium, she brings forward her own researches and creations. In the past years she developed her practice around ideas of resilience, empowerment and collective working, interested in the development of feminist narratives. She has been researching on the concept of disappearing as a way of challenging hierarchies; on collective practices of mourning in order to deal with loss in a non-individualized way; on choreographic patterns evolving through urban spaces; on the embedded expectations that somatic dance practices might carry, questioning the concepts of release and safeness in its predominantly white environment in order to reflect on her own identity and her use of language. 

Margherita develops her work most of the time in exchange and collaboration with other disciplines like visual art, music, architecture and  novel and poetic writing and lately has been researching in connection with jazz musicians for her last work "A Small World" directed with Alexandros Anastasiadis.

She received research grants from Dachverband Tanz, Fonds Darstellende Künste and from the Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen and she was scholarship holder from Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes during her studies. Her  choreographic work has been shown in Belgium, Germany and Italy and in 2019 she toured her collective ritual “Bath” in China.

As a dancer she currently works with the Brussels based company Nyash/Caroline Cornélis and has been dancing as freelancer for various choreographers in Germany like Ceren Oran, El Cuco Project/Sonia Franken, Julia Riera, Smadar Goshen.

Margherita has a strong trust in magic, which she thinks needs attentiveness, she practices tarot cards to tune in the listening.
