Born to a fusion of Chinese and Italian heritage, Valeria began her (inner and outer)
world exploration at the age of 19, driven by a deep curiosity for wonder and truth.
Her travels across Africa, Asia, and South America led her to encounter Contact
Improvisation (CI) in Brazil, where she quickly fell in love with the practice. CI
became not only her home but also her life school, serving as a tangible vehicle for
accessing states of flow and grace, and as a radical practice of presence and
awareness. 

Since 2016, she has been studying Contact Improvisation with international
teachers, including Nita Little, Karen Nelson, Ray Chung, Anya Cloud, Charlie
Morrissey, Martin Keogh, Itay Yatuv, and Kirstie Simson.

Her movement practice draws from a wide range of influences, including Butoh dance, martial arts (specifically Kinomichi) and somatic practices. She has a solid background in contemporary dance, with both formal training and a collaborative work with the
Dance Ensemble Opera Studio Company in Italy.
Her practice remains ever-evolving, and she increasingly feels the truth of
not knowing. The question that stays most alive for her is: what does it mean to be
human?

Valeria is also certified in Emotional Energy Release Massage and continues her
studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tuina massage. She teaches Contact
Improvisation weekly in Genoa and organizes CI events in Italy, such as Jamazo and
4Elements-Contact Improvisation Retreat in Nature.
