Giulia Vitiello is an Italian-born theatre maker, choreographer, performance designer, and researcher currently based between Brussels and London. Her interdisciplinary practice explores themes of collective memory, shared heritage(s), migration and representation through at times conventional and at time site-specific and socially engaged performance. Her work blends applied performance methodologies with choreography, dramaturgy, and design, often activating spaces, wether theatrical or not, as places of embodied history, co-creation and exchange.

She holds a First Class Honours BA in Performance Design and Practice from Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London, and has trained extensively in acting, physical theatre, and theatre making across Europe. She began her training at a young age with Play Magliano and Laboratorio Teatrale Terzo Millennio, later expanding her studies to include Commedia dell’Arte with Eugenio Allegri, intensive voice training with Daniela Tessore, various physical theatre practices, and acting techniques. Her education includes training at the National Italian Theatre Academy in Salerno, the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, and the RITCS School of Arts in Brussels and danscentrumjette, where she intensified her contemporary dance and choreography training in a two years professional dance training. 

 In 2023, after receiving research boursary from Charleroi Danse, in collaboration with La Fonderie and danscentrumjette2023, she founded dancing from archives, a dance research and creation platform dedicated to industrial heritage, collective memory, and inclusion of working-class narratives and communities within the performing arts. Its first production, Chapter 1: SUGAR, was selected by Perform Europe and supported to tour, lead workshops, and continue the research across Ireland, Belgium, and Italy.
