“The transformative power of movement, the magic of journeys and encounters, the sacredness of the performative practice are strong principles for my artistic view. I approach creative practice with respect , listening and learning, considering it as a path to self awareness.”

RESEARCH​
My interest both in performativity and in education is to explore the potential of the body in relation with the aerial apparatus, opening choreographic and narrative possibilities.
