“As a dance artist, I find value in communication through movement. How can bodies communicate with each other in a way that we can bring the experience

to the audience?

Immersing myself in a pool of imagination and guiding the outside observer on this journey reignites my 'inner child' and sense of happiness, elements I believe are essential to nurture.

Dance is a channel for me to externalize whatever I gather: thoughts, desires, fears…

Art is a poetic translation of life. I get inspired by collaborations and projects that are a combination of interdisciplinary work. “
