From scribbling in the margins of textbooks, to creating imaginary worlds or getting lost in movies, Danilo has always been a storyteller. But through his work as a director, he realized he wasn’t just looking for stories to consume—he wanted to help others tell theirs, too.

Danilo brings an extensive background in playwriting and directing, as well as in teaching acting in both the US and Brazil. He holds an MFA in Directing from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale, a BFA in Film and Television from Curso Superior do Audiovisual and an artist diploma as an actor from the School of Dramatic Art (Escola de Arte Dramática – EAD) both from the University of São Paulo.

Danilo is excited to help students shape their stories and hopes to inspire them with the courage of self-discovery, by making them feel heard, seen, and understood. He looks forward to helping students reach their goals and make a positive impact in the world.
