Valentina Turtur

I'm Val and I like to implement different media and art languages. I was raised and trained in Rome, Italy, and worked in within Tv, Films and commercials as well as theatre. I'm very much interested in exploring movements in a specific space or setting and love to design for physical Theatre, and modern classic to experiment on how the set actually can interact with the performance. In this sense I also find Theatre for children very challenging and stimulating especially because of the specific perception children have of a performance. I like to explore geometry in its multitude of possibilities and tend to abstraction quite often as well as the use of texture in the aim of communicating a specific feeling or emotion.
