GIANLUCA GABRIELE
Gianluca graduated in Scenography and Performing Arts at the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Florence. Over the years he has trained as an actor, singer and dancer participating in numerous courses and workshops, constantly searching for new languages and artistic forms that can improve and enrich his personal "vocabulary."
He studied singing and vocal techniques with Francesca Della Monica (pedagogue and voice philosopher), Ernani Maletta, Alessandro Gerini, Michele Luppi, Paul Phoenix and Barbara Benini. In 2012 he reaches the finals, live on Rai Uno, at the Castrocaro Festival placing second. In the same year he released the album Tra I Mirtilli E Le Ortiche in collaboration with singer-songwriter Roberto Durkovic.
He studied acting with Manfredi Rutelli, Maurizio Donadoni and Pierpaolo Malito, the "Costa Method" with Alessandra Niccolini, the use of the grotesque mask and in Commedia dell'Arte with Angelo Savelli, Bianca Francioni, with the Familie Floz company and Luana Gramegna.
After a long period of prose, figure and street theater, he approached dance by studying with David Zambrano, the German brothers and Jorge Jauregui Allue (both former Ultima Vez dancers of Wim Vandekeybus), Antonella Bertoni and Luc Cognet, with whom he leads a training and working path between Italy and France. He has been working professionally in the theater industry since 2008 after meeting the Zaches Teatro company, a Florentine group with which he takes part in tours around Europe but also in Russia, Iran, Turkey, Serbia and Poland.
Currently frontman of the rock band My Tin Apple (with three albums to its credit: The Crow's Lullaby, A Strange Carousel and The Door), the musical project also sees him engaged as a costume and makeup artist. With My Tin he has a way to combine the world of theater with the world of music; together with them, in 2016, he won the "TV Spenta" award in Rapolano Terme and over the years he has opened concerts by Lacuna Coil, Bella Donna, The Bluebeaters and Nobraino. Also in 2016 he joined the electro-gospel choir Vocal Blue Trains as a tenor.
