ABOUT

Francesca Savone is a dancer, actor, singer, and choreographer from Detroit, Michigan. She is a graduate of Oklahoma City University, and is now a New York-based artist. Francesca recently made her debut in three Off-Off-Broadway productions, including Echo at New York Theater Festival, A.I. vs Humanity with Ripple Effect Artists, and Achilles: The Next Iliad with Next Life Theatre Company. Francesca has performed in numerous dance and theater productions, including TEXAS Outdoor Musical, Once Upon a Mattress, The Gondoliers, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. She has choreographed productions of Little Shop of Horrors and The Gondoliers, and the U.S. premiere of the new opera Pietà, directed by Andrea DelGiudice. Francesca is passionate about exploring the depth and complexity of the human condition through the arts, as much as she loves to entertain for the sake of pure joy alone.

As a child, Francesca was the type to write creative short stories, direct her cousins in short films, craft mini figurines to attempt to shoot her own stop-motion film, and imagine characters to act out around the house. The series Dance Academy inspired her to start ballet classes at age 9, which developed into a journey of versatile dance and musical theater training, where she found her life’s artistic passion. Her aspirations span the TV/film industry, Broadway and West End theater industries, and international venues. As a multi-faceted artist with a fascination for entertainment in its many forms, Francesca is most driven towards creating art as a means of storytelling.

Francesca is a first-generation Italian-American, and her extended family dynamic involves a blend of Mexican and Greek heritage, which collectively influence her cultural identity and perspective. She values travel and exploring cultures of the world, especially their dance forms as a means to connect with people and infuse those influences into her own creations.

Francesca is a lover of sunny mornings, thunderstorm nights, a hot cup of coffee and a good book, a themed playlist or an album with no skips, anything vintage, a cobblestone walkway, a pirouette and a kick-ball-change, a spontaneous solo adventure, singing in the car with friends, and (perhaps above many things) the movie Princess Diaries 2.
