My approach to choreography is rooted in collaboration, cultural exchange, and innovation. I believe in creating dynamic and emotional dance pieces that push the boundaries of expression towards feelings and understanding. My work is influenced by a global perspective and a deep appreciation for the power of movement as well as a high respect towards the audience.
Bringing Movement to Life
As an international choreographer, I have had the privilege of working with dancers and companies from all around the world. My diverse experience has allowed me to develop a unique approach to choreography that blends different styles and techniques, creating captivating and dynamic performances. When selecting a choreographer for your next project or production, it is important to choose someone who not only has technical expertise but also understands the art of storytelling. That is where I excel.
Artistic conviction, a great passion for new forms of dance expression, fair treatment of one another and gratefulness are trademarks.
