Italian, originally from Umbria, with a degree in Advertising, he founded his acting career in Paris, Barcelona and London, attending schools and teachers in Mime corporelle dramatique of E. Decroux and physical theatre.
Working on the body, movement and its expression fascinates him and leads him to explore its full potential. Curiosity and research lead him to perform in physical theatre, mime, masks, clowns, street theatre, Commedia dell’Arte, opera, contemporary dance, research and experimental theatre, sensory experiences, site-specific performances and of course theatre and cinema in more traditional senses.
Endowed with boundless creativity, Daniele acts freely with diversified interests to develop ideas in theatre, film, writing, illustration, painting, photography, social media, sports, advertising, corporate, events, music and travel.
A natural comic brio places him in a precarious balance between a former comedian, a mime and a white clown.
His personal method develops a sensitivity in the discovery of original forms of expression.
