´´ I see Body and Mind as a holistic vehicle that I learn to navigate and through which I meet others in space´´

I am a freelance movement artist, performer and teacher specialized in the fields of Instant Composition, Contemporary Dance and Contact Improvisation. I collaborate as a dancer, dance maker and improviser in projects with visual art, dance, music, poetry and theater and have been performing in Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Spain. Currently I am based in Freiburg - Germany.

Before dance became the protagonist in my life, I was focused on mapping the spatial relations and interactions of humans and their environment during my bachelor in geography. I started studying somatic dance and improvisation with Marisa Grande in the Netherlands. Since then, my focus shifted to the body - mind relation, it became the new seed of my curiosity while discovering movement language through kinaesthetic experience. I went on to study improvisation, performance and contemporary dance full time at TIP - Bewegungs-Art.

To further deepen my knowledge I travel in Europe and Asia to study a variety of approaches and movement vocabulary with focus on floor work, Contact Improvisation, somatics (BMC, Ideokinesis,Feldenkrais) and martial arts.

Currently I am focusing on my own research on mapping the movement. This mapping deals with connections of inner and outer spaces of the anatomical body in relation to physical forces. My interest is to compose dances through body-mind awareness with strong, effortless physicality. I see body - mind as a holistic vehicle which I learn to navigate and meet other encounters in space.

As a performer, I enjoy to experiment, play, explore and discover dance in different fields of performance. However, improvisation as an art form remains one of my deepest passions, due to the sharpness and clarity that arises in the very moment, where body and mind align. This is where intuition can take action and allow the intelligence of the body to be expressed in its most original form.

As a teacher, I wish to create a shared space for participants to experience movement and dance. For this I use tools from several disciplines including physical touch, anatomical information and imagery. My interest lays in releasing the mind and allowing embodiment, where the participant is being moved and experience a play with the physical forces.

Lately screen dance has been capturing my attention since it is in itself a movement based art form and I started to create the first dance screen projects as another form of artistic creation.
