Daniel Proietto's HOUSE OF DRAMA

House of Drama is my latest project: a production company from which I carry out the largely diverse type of creations I do as a dancer, actor, choreographer, theatre director, costume designer and most recently as a writer, lyricist and entrepreneur.

I thrive when confronting new challenges, which I tackle with endless drive, curiosity and passion. It is through the challenges that I expand my knowledge and perspectives of the world.

I’ve been 30 years in the arts, always researching, developing and nourishing myself by learning new disciplines while performing and creating works of contemporary dance, theatre, ballet, traditional kabuki dance, musicals, fashion and, most recently, on film.

The global pandemic offered me an extensive time of reflection that, thankfully, enriched my personal and artistic growth. I reconnected to many unrealised dreams that I have as an artist and also new ones were born. I began writing, directing and editing for film as well as developing skills as an entrepreneur, to be able to create KNOW - an online venue and resource center for the arts.

KNOW it’s born from a deep wish to be a part of the global change in the education system, which approaches, I believe,  are extremely old fashioned.

I’ve always been very lucky to be surrounded by phenomenal creators, and I know personally that much of their amazing talent and knowledge is not hosted, featured or promoted online, or even taught in schools or universities... educational institutions that anyhow I'm not very much fond of - because, even though I had incredible teachers throughout my career, I’ve only ever learned when I was ready and not when it was imposed on me.

It is following this thought that my wish was born: create a platform that would offer knowledge on demand from a greatly diverse group of creators, in a comprehensive library and collection of their body of works to enrich the future generations regardless of their geographical and economical backgrounds.

Our main goal is to offer insights and material from internationally renowned artists to help disseminate and democratise the arts.

When I was very young my family could not afford my studies, but I was blessed to have the trust of my teachers who granted me scholarships throughout my academic years. I would like KNOW to be a social conscious project, for which I intend to partner with foundations to be able to present the material for free to underprivileged people. 

I warmly welcome you to my page, where you can find my past, present and future projects,, learn about KNOW and the incredible people behind it and, hopefully, inspire you to collaborate with us at House of Drama in adventurous and innovative ways.
