About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!

As a choreographer, performer and improviser I create solo projects and also collaborate with visual artists, digital media artists and musicians. My interest lies in the pure physicality of the body and the understanding of its functioning, the relationship of human movement and the surrounding world. Through this understanding I investigate the social, ecological and political meanings of the moving or still body in space. I work with site‐specific projects, creating both the outdoor projects in cities, rural areas and in nature, and in nontraditional indoor spaces such as museums or libraries. I use limited – nevertheless inspiring – spaces to develop new movement, visual and audio possibilities, playing with three dimensional use of the space involving climbing and investigating contact with the objects and materials that are found there. In my site‐specific projects I often involve local communities usually drawing the movement material from the daily gestures of the inhabitants of the chosen city, introducing contemporary dance and art to people who normally have little previous experience with the performing arts.
