Debora Balardini

With fierce loyalty to movement and physical theater as an art form, Debora’s extensive performance background spans ballet, modern dance, tap. After becoming Hatha yoga certified, mindfulness and overall well being greatly influence her approach to the arts. Debora has fostered a growing vision of traditional and experimental exceptionalism from voice-overs to theater acting, direction and production, from cabaret to variety, from feature films to short films.

Debora is the founder of Group.BR, the only all Brazilian theater company in NYC, an award winning all Brazilian ensemble. Her insatiable appetite for the arts led her to co-founding Nettles Artists Collective (NAC), an artist collective which has received multiple nominations for original work.

With theater credits to include the Cherry Orchard, Servant of Two Masters, Romeo and Juliet, The Threepenny Opera and Don Quixote de La Mancha Debora sought to deepen her roots in NYC by co-founding PUNTO, a venue for events, art happenings and performances that would serve as a creative home and place for artistic community to collaborate, explore and thrive.
