THE RESEARCH
...'Through my choreographic work and practice I have the tendency to approach the human body as an experiential means towards space 'comprehension'.
I am interested in present experiences, the reappearance of the past and the creation of the future through physical movement and the use of senses.
For this specific project I am focused on the revival, exploration and creation of delightful experiences through movement,
alongside experimentations with particular materials.
During this residency I am inviting performers and potential collaborators of diverse backgrounds to share and exchange through discussions and improvisations'...
