UPCOMING WORKSHOP IN GERMANY - The body between reality and imagination

On 14th-18th of May I will give a workshop at Fabrik Potsdam during Potsdamer Tanztage. I will share my practise of using improvisation as a compositional tool, working with elements such as musicality, presence, focal point of movements etc.

Fabrik Potsdam is a wonderful residency space close by Berlin on the bank of the river Havel. I have already been there in residency + performed three times over the years, including “being” and TIDE. This is the first time that I open up my creative practise in a form of a workshop there and I am truly looking forward to meet the local dance community + anyone else interested in attending that week.

Registrations are OPEN: @ FABRIK POTSDAM

TIDE and LUCANE

Nulty Bod festival in Prague, Czech

I just spent a really nice week in Prague! 

I traveled there for giving a couple of workshops (one open and another with The Spitfire Company) and on Saturday the 22nd of July I performed The Lover (Milenec in Czech) at the Celetne Theater, an intimate venue in the heart of the old town of Prague. I was invited by the lovely artistic team of Nulty Bod Festival and my stay was EU funded which meant that the performance was for free! Amazing!! We had a full house of audience, a great vibe and nice reactions. Thank you for hosting us Ludmila, Petra, Petr, Mirenka, Lucia and everybody else <3

It was a sunny week so in between work I got to spend some cozy time in the city. My favorite areas so far are Karlín and Holešovice. I hope to be back soon.

Impressions from the IETM Satellite meeting in Beirut

I got invited to attend the IETM Satellite meeting in Beirut last autumn through a generous initiative by KUNSTENPUNT. This was my first time at both IETM and in Lebanon. Those days left a first impression of a special place, to say the least.

PRAXIS OSLO

In Oslo there exists a unique platform called Praxis. Every Friday from 9 until 11 a different dance artist is invited to share and reflect upon their research and current practise. Afterwards there is coffee and tea. I was there on the 10th and 17th of February. Thank you to everyone who came! I enjoyed.
