About

My Work

As dance entrepeneur I teach, organise projects and create performances. I believe everyone is capable of experiencing dance according to their own strengths and qualities. My performances are intimate, interdisciplinary, aimed at experience and connection. Within anthropology I focus on the moving body in society. I am fascinated by the body and its senses as an instrument for knowledge about human and more-than-human sociality.
