bio

Grace Hall, often referred to by the press and media as “the Italian queen of burlesque”, is a renowned international artist known for her versatility and pioneering role in this art form in Italy.

As a professional actress (also known as Emma Nitti), she boasts prestigious national and international collaborations in cinema, TV, theater, fashion and music.

She is the author, director and producer of the documentary film “Burlesque Extravaganza“, an enticing road movie into the dazzling world of contemporary burlesque. The film is also available on Prime Video (It).

With her shows, she has graced the stages of top events across Europe, the United States, and Canada.

She has been a guest on various television programs: Domenica In, LineaBlu, Beauty & Me, Cominciamo Bene, Guardami, Waratte Koraete on Nippon TV (Japan), just to name a few.

She has also produced numerous theatrical productions, often involving the students/starlets of her school: Grace’s Tricks Revue, Extraordinaire Magique, Profumi di Varietà.

With Il Tempio del Burlesque, a reference point for training in Italy, Grace has been doing extensive dissemination work since 2010, bringing artists from all over the world to Rome to teach the art of burlesque in all its forms and styles.

Grace Hall has developed FEMININE SPIRIT ALCHEMY®, a highly personal teaching method based on maieutic approach.

She boasts a unique education, having studied and worked with great masters of theater and cinema worldwide.

She holds a degree in Modern Literature with a specialization in “History and Criticism of Cinema” from La Sapienza University in Rome and graduated from the Conservatorio Teatrale, ex Scaletta, directed by Diotajuti.

She has refined her skills with Ferruccio Di Cori in several workshops on theatrical improvisation and the theater of spontaneity, with Cathy Marchand on the acting techniques of the Living Theatre, with Carlo Boso on Commedia dell’Arte, with Doris Hicks on the Strasberg Method, with Eugenio Barba and Julia Varley of Odin Teatret, passing through Mejerchol’d’s Biomechanics, Rudolf Steiner’s Eurythmy, and Gurdjeff’s Sacred Dances.

Since 2023, she has been regularly attending acting and writing workshops with Oscar winner Paul Haggis.
