About

The person behind Wordsoming is me, Federica Palazzi!

I have a Master's Degree in and teach Languages and Literature
I am an Expert in Dance Movement Therapy specialised in Fux Method, Chiave Simbolica Method and Narrative Practice (approved by APID and EADMT)
I am a Musician with focus on Songwriting, Soundscapes and Music Cognition
I am an Expert in Audience Development & Engagement for Performing Arts

My education, training and experiences led me here: I strongly believe that everyone has a right to be an artist. And I don't mean artist as in "professional" or "amateur" - I mean artist as a human being who learns to see, acknowledge and then master their creative power, not on a stage, but in normal everyday life, when we need to take care of ourselves and nurture our well-being.

The arts are a vital tool to access our own meaningful story and consciously become the narrator.
