Dance artist – Yoga teacher- Massage therapist
Ways to define
I am a dance artist (choreographer/researcher/performer), a yoga teacher and a sports massage therapist.
Through these embodied practices, I investigate the Bodymind via an experiential, artistic and somatic perspective.
Ways to move from
I have an extensive background in contemporary dance, contact improvisation and multi-disciplinary work, having worked with companies and groups of artists on a global scale. More detailed info here.
Ways to see
My approach aims to be non-hierarchical and collaborative, enriched by a sense of co-creation from all participants accross the areas of teaching, choreographing and performing.
Indeed my research often questions the sense of authorship and wants to look at inter-relational ways of communicating and creating. It also questions what we believe ’Identity’ is, and ways of perceiving ourselves within a group and a particular context.
Ways to share
Teaching has been a big part of my life and inspiration. I run various dance and yoga workshops and classes for pro and amateurs, in studios, dance schools and choreographic centres, gyms, corporate and private environment.
Ways to be showcase and create
I’ve been invited to showcase and expand my work at international platforms and residencies : Toplocentrala in Sofia Bulgaria, The Cockpit Theatre in London, Tanzfabrik in Berlin, Choreographic Centre Yuval Pick in France, Teatro de la Danza in Mexico, Festival In&Out in Burkina Faso, Karlovak festival in Croatia, Richmix in London, Osage Gallery in Hong Kong, Rimbun Dahan in Malaysia, Crescent school in Singapore, Harringay Arts HAHA ! in London, Cesta Interdisciplinary and Collaborative Festival in Czech Republic, Resolution! 2009 and 2023, Dance Omi in New York, The Others in London, Riley Theatre in Leeds, The Place in London, Schindler House in California
