Michele discovered his love for theatre and theatre education after a career as a photographer, which brought him around the world, including Africa and the Middle East. Once he found theatre, though, Michele knew that was his calling, and he spent years training to become a theatre educator. Michele has developed an interest in the relationship between theatre, dance and other performing arts, and he has held courses for children and young adults, coordinating important projects that have brought him from Central Europe to Uganda. As a lighting designer, and a technical and production director, Michele has developed a multifaceted approach to the performing arts. After further training and collaborations with companies and artists such as Odin Teatret (Eugenio Barba), Stefano Benni, and others, Michele has come back to his native Primiero and opened a performing arts school with his partner, where they teach dance, theatre and circus arts. He has been collaborating with the Trentino Music Festival since 2015 as the technical director and along with his team oversees all technical aspects of the festival.
