My name is Valentina Priolo, a freelance artist and creative based in Charleston, SC.

Creating stunning experiences through dance and design.

I worked as a performing artist and choreographer in Europe for many years before relocating to New York City to take advantage of the city's thriving multicultural dance environment. Not long after, I made the decision to pool my skills and eventually broaden them from a design standpoint. I developed my critical thinking abilities while pursuing my bachelor's degree in graphic design at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

My academic and professional path has mostly focused on editorial design, which includes book design, typography, and page layouts; branding and identity; and web design, which enhances user interface experience.

Furthermore, I collaborated as a performing artist, choreographer, and dance educator with Overground Physical Theatre Company, an experimental physical theater company based in New York that creates transpersonal experiences through contact improvisation, expressionistic post-modern European "Tanz-theater," and ultra-contemporary performance art.

I've grown to understand how to be adaptable, incredibly organized, and flexible from both my personal and professional experiences as a creative. I can't wait to pick up new abilities and knowledge from others. I'm still bridging the contemporary dance and design disciplines with this unwavering dedication.

Credits as a dancer and choreographer include:

BAM Fisher, New York Live Arts, Alvin Ailey Theater, Danspace Project, Judson Memorial Church, Here Arts Center, Dance New Amsterdam, Salvatore Capezio Theater, White Wave, Ellens Hall, Connecticut University, Manhattan Movement & Arts Center, among others.
