Born in Parma, Italy, Ilaria Amadasi's introduction into professional theater took place when she co-founded the Theater Company "I 4 Cantoni" at the age of fifteen.
Ilaria later was selected to attend the prestigious Teatro Stabile di Genova where she worked in various artistic positions both on and off the stage. She was author, and Assistant Director of the stage adaptation of Franz Kafka’s “The Castle” and was chosen as the female lead in the show, “Time of darkness” by H. Mankell.
She also received a honourable mention from the national playwriting competition "In Punta di Penna" for the piece “Non ho urlato”. She directed theatre therapy workshops for children as well as seminars of Commedia dell’Arte at “Scuola Teatro Vita” (Parma, Italy).

In that spirit she has collaborated on several productions, since her arrival, at the Off-Broadway 45 Bleecker Theater, at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, Horse Trade Theater Group.
