For over 15 years, I have immersed myself in the art of dance, initially exploring the world of popping and progressively moving towards experimental dance, movement abstraction, and a deeper investigation of the body as a tool for expression.
My passion lies in creating lines, playing with angles, allowing them to swing and fall like the hands of a clock. I enjoy isolating different parts of my body in unconventional ways, taking risks to embody diverse characters and states of being, guided by the countless emotions that flow through me. I embrace the freedom of letting go of control, trusting the complexity, patterns, and natural elegance of the body.
My artistic journey has developed through performances, battles, film projects, and, in recent years, through teaching and sharing my research around the world. While my academic background is in Chemistry, I continuously translate this knowledge into the language of movement. I draw inspiration from the microcosmic world, nature, and the endless possibilities of transformation of shapes and structures, bringing emotion, imagination, and curiosity into my physical practice.
The grotesque, the enigmatic, and the unexpected aspects of movement fascinate me, contributing to the creation of my unique artistic identity. In recent years, I have expanded my research by integrating object manipulation, fire, circus practices, flow arts, and juggling into my performances.
These elements reconnect me with the sense of wonder and exploration of a child, opening new possibilities for movement, rhythm, and interaction.
My dance persona has been featured in various video projects, with one of the highlights being my victory at Juste Debout Experimental in Holland, which led me to the world final in Paris in 2018.
Alongside performing, I have shared my knowledge through teaching at renowned cultural centers such as Kodarts, Hippodrome, and Rotondes. I also work within the circus and flow arts communities, teaching movement research and exploring the relationship between body, objects, and space.
Over the past years, my artistic exploration has extended into the fields of Butoh and physical theatre clowning, enriching my understanding of presence, transformation, and storytelling through the body.
Today, I find fulfillment in teaching, performing, and creating. I continue to study, investigate, and question movement in all its forms, constantly nurturing my research and keeping my artistic expression alive, evolving, and open to new discoveries.
