Hello, I’m Chiara.

BOLD - PLAYFUL - ALLURING

My pronouns are she/her.

Chiara is pronounced like Chamomile.

I live in Naarm, Melbourne, working on unceded Wurundjeri land, but began my career in Tarndanya, Adelaide on Kaurna Land. 

I work hard as a writer, performer and event producer.

A headshot of Chiara Gabrielli. She is a white, late 20s cis-woman, with dark brown hair cut in a neat shag mullet and a front fringe. She has think dark eyebrows and defined cheek apples. She is smiling and looking directly at the camera.

Theatre

my home. 

I have loved working with the wonderful humans at ActNow Theatre, South Australian State Theatre Company, Windmill Theatre Company, FreeRange Theatrix, and Foul Play.


 
 

Poetry

my voice. 

My poetry has led me to the bright lights of the Sydney Opera House, and the warm communities of Slamalamadingdong, Word Craft, Emerging Writers Festival, Melbourne Spoken Word Festival, Draw Your (S)Words, Mother Tongue, and Soul Lounge. My words have been printed in the anthology, Spitting Teeth.

Drag

my church.

Bruno Salsicce is a proud mommy's boy with a Lynx scent that will enter the room first. Together, Bruno is the first Drag King to win The 86 ‘Drag-a-thon’ Competition, and isthe two-time winner of Pride of our Footscray 'Draggiest Home Video' competition. He is a frequent host and performer at the manhy venues along the iconic queer strip of Smith St.
