I work as a contemporary dancer and choreographer, dance teacher, and integrative dance therapist (candidate). My artistic work is influenced by my training in contemporary stage dance, performance and choreography, dance therapy, and psychology. For me, dance is a way of understanding the world, positioning myself in the world, and providing a stage for the issues and people of the time in which I live. My desire to understand through the body and my interest in human expression not only accompany me in my artistic work, but are also an integral part of my workshops, dance theater projects, and courses, as well as my guidance in self-awareness through dance. Through dance, I explore, both alone and together with others, concepts of identity, the tension between community and individualism, social and individual boundaries, and the art of people encountering themselves and each other.

 

As a dancer, choreographer, and choreographic assistant, I have worked with the following individuals and companies, among others: cie.ATASH عطش / Ulduz Ahmadzadeh, Henß & Kaiser | tanzen schräg, Marion Sparber, M.over Company, Staatstheater Kassel.
