Choreographer

Dance-making is one of my ways to express myself. I am a believer in the strength of sharing our vulnerability as human beings, and I have found through choreography an infinite possibility of exercising and telling stories through our bodies. So in my practice, each rehearsal, discussion, collaboration, and the performance is part of the process. I normally come to the studio with clear ideas about the shape of the piece and its content. But I also like to try out ideas and take suggestions from the dancers themselves before pulling all of the material together. It's a conversation. Our relationship as collaborators, as artists -and as people - is tied to sharing our human experience, everybody has a story and I always find greatly appreciated when new ideas come through the process for the piece. Unexpected changes take the whole process to a different route. My work is ballet, modern, and jazz-based, and ballroom and street dance influences. I look for a simple and direct language. I create original contemporary dance works for stage, screen, museums, galleries, schools, and non-traditional spaces.
