_ Approach to Work

"What can a human body, which is dependent on the laws of gravity and continuing pace of time, trigger in a real space at the beginning of the 21st century? At the interface of performing and fine arts I want to explore the artistic possibilities of dance as a language, which continuously should be questioned, in continuous friction between abstraction and emotion. Questions of perception, of identity and communication are being examined, looked at from different perspectives and always remain unanswered. The topic is the open question itself, and the contradictions between the possible and the impossible are at the same time inspiration and motivation to search further. As a permanent object for research, the body can alter the perception of space and time: the chance of the flightness of dance enables moving between the limits. Irritations. In the confrontations with artists from various genres new ways of seeing and new forms of dance can emerge."



_ Current Production

Sometimes taking already existent live music as point for departure, sometimes reacting to an architectural space, sometimes in the encounter with partners on stage I work at fragments of a project consisting of several parts.
_ Future Projects

2002 a project is planned in cooperation with an artist for the space installation and several dancers/performers
