In 2011, with Marco D\u2019Agostin and Giorgia Nardin, she co-created Spic &amp; Span, where the three artists perform together. This show was awarded with a Special mention at Premio Scenario 2011.<br \/>\nIn 2013 she was the winner of the 2013 Equilibrio Award Rome for Performer: the jury, chaired by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, acknowledged her highly developed technique, great emotional sensibility, her strong stage presence and her ability in creating a unique and original embodiment referring to her performance in <em>Grandmother<\/em>, a pi\u00e8ce created in collaboration with Sara Wiktorowicz. Thanks to this award, she could choose an international choreographer to work with for creating a new solo: Francesca chose the Israeli Yasmeen Godder who creates with her <em>Gut Gift<\/em>.<br \/>\nIn 2013 she created, together with the choreographers Marco D\u2019Agostin and Giorgia Nardin, the cultural association Van.
