PAST

“Creation, Dance, Performing are of a main importance to my living experience and are a major goal for my professional development. Cooperation with artists with different backgrounds has been a way to challenge my practices. Contemporary music is a big influence in my research.”

 

Triggered and inspired by many people that cross my path, I continue my search in physical training, performance skills, movement research and short creations. Never to forget the people I loved, love and carry in my heart. 

 

PRESENT

 Observing a play

seemingly ‘natural style’ of moving, performing,; 

a creating performer, 

dance; 

a physicality within release and attack;  

complexity of movement coordination; 

inner song

straight forward and direct 

 communication

 

Full with intensity, simplicity and expanding energies

improvising and creating 

‘body that knows’.

 

FUTURE

Enrichment of knowledge, openness to create with the necessary critics and support, collaboration and possibility of creative risk-taking. Diving in exhibitions, performances, concerts and other art forms. Performing with inspiring dancers and choreographers. Researching, meeting, never losing an eye on social, cultural and political aspects. 

Finding a broad stage to perform and sell my works: ‘My Body, My Instrument’ (2007-....), ‘Outside Forces (2011), ‘Normal People’ (2011), ‘Recall’ (2010) and ‘Would you buy us?’ (2009).

 

To reach people with humanity, subtlety, physicality, warmth, absurdity, simplicity, intensity,   understanding, questioning, sensuality, silliness, humour, desire and energy.             To be Reached. 

A dream of a millisecond where everything appears to make sense.
