With a degree in Political Sciences, a Master\u2019s in Screenwriting &amp; Film Production, and studies at the Lee Strasberg Theatre &amp; Film Institute, Chiara has been working in the press since 2003. Italian by blood, British by upbringing, fond of Japanese culture since the age of 7, once a New Yorker always a New Yorker, and an avid traveller, Chiara collaborates with international magazines and radio-television networks. She is also a visual artist, whose eco-works connect to her use of language: the title of each painting is inspired by the materials she upcycles on canvas. Her \u2018Material Puns\u2019 have so far been exhibited in four continents, across ten countries. She is a dedicated ARTivist, donating her works to the causes and humanitarians she supports, and is Professor of Phenomenology of Contemporary Arts at Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>West Side Story : Video Review\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6c95yqjoBjM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"West Side Story \/ Video Review : Above the Line vs Below the Line.
