I work as a contemporary dancer & choreographer and dance facilitator based in Kassel. My artistic work is characterised by my training in contemporary stage dance, performance & choreography, dance therapy and psychology. 

​

For me, dance is a way to understand myself and the world, to express myself and to make the world directly tangible. My desire to understand with the body and my interest in human expression not only accompany me in my artistic work, but are an intrinsic part of my offerings in workshops, dance theatre projects and courses, as well as my accompaniment to self-awareness through dance. It is my deepest conviction that art should be inclusive and not exclusive, and that all people have the right to creative expression.

 

Through dance, I explore concepts of identity, the tension between community and individualism, social and individual boundaries and the art of people meeting themselves and each other, alone and together.
