Portrait and CV

Choreografin, Tanzperformerin, freischaffende Künstlerin, Dozentin

Mein Hauptinteresse gilt dem individuellen Ausdruck des Körpers in Stimme und Bewegung.
In meinen Arbeiten thematisiere ich vor allem die Verbindung von Bewegung und Choreografie mit Video/ Bewegtbild.
Als Dozentin arbeite ich mit unterschiedlichen Altersgruppen und in verschiedenen sozialen Kontexten (Schule/ Universität/ Weiterbildung), mit Laien und Profis, Erwachsenen, Jugendlichen und Kindern.
Inspiriert durch verschiedene Einladungen als Dozentin und Gastspiele im In- und Ausland, arbeite ich an einer Vernetzung und Förderung eines kontinuierlichen internationalen Austausches zwischen Tanz- und Videokünstlern.
