I have been working as a freelance dancer, choreographer and dance facilitator since 2017. Currently I am based in based Nürnberg/Berlin.
Dancing and choreographing is an act of being in this world to me.
Exploring, thinking in movement, allows me to be in touch with my needs and the needs of those around me. In dance, I move easily from one state to another. Dance allows me to always be in a state of flow and to discover a variety of responses and ways to create to the also ever-changing environment.
​​
With my work, I want to design and create spaces through movement that allow to encounter the unknown and the other with open arms, curiosity and empathy.
A major concern of mine is to inspire people for contemporary performance art who otherwise have little contact with it. In doing so, I research the intersection between everyday life and art. I want to meet my audience in a non-elitist setting and wish strongly that people feel with me and are moved inwardly in order to invite them to experience and witness.
​
As a choreographer, I create own works and I´m keenly interested in collective work processes.
Education:
In addition to my dance studies, which I completed in Nuremberg and Mannheim 2013-2017, I am a trained dressmaker and worked as a costume design assistant at Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich, among others, 2012-2013. My educations were followed by numerous further trainings in improvisation, composition and instant composition. In 2023 I successfully completed my training at the Center for Movement Based Expressive Arts Education & Therapy, Basic Training Level 1 in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process according to Anna and Daria Halprin.
Self-concept:
Moving expression is central to my work, which is not only about a moving body, but also about all the prohibitions, secrets and impenetrability that a culture projects onto it. A dancing body arouses astonishment, hesitation, repulsion or jubilation at its approach. In my artistic work I question the organisation and coding of bodies and the way we move in correspondence with the world.
Ultimately, it is about movement: Experiencing the world through movement and awareness in action as a form of expression. Which allows us to explore thoughts, dreams and physicalised poetry in and around us as well as to share it through dance.
