In 2019, after calling Rome and Berlin home, she decided to move with her family to a remote valley in the Friulian Dolomites in search of a more satisfying and frugal quality of life. In 2021 she is one of the founders of T20 studio, an association active in territorial regeneration through dialogue between art and design, for which she curates artistic projects.
Currently her focus is on producing collaborative work with other authors not only from the dance world.
