  • Imagine if every movement could be a sound.

  • A sound?

  • Yes. Dance and music must always­ communicate 

  • Communicate how? 

  • Like in tradition. I would love to meet different cultures and traditions. 

  • Why?

  • Tradition is the only form of art which is not personal.

  • What is personal? 

  • A creator’s ambition is personal. 

  • Aren’t you a creator?

  • No to self-promoted Art! A piece should always have to say something important to the audience. 

  • The audience doesn’t understand what dance says. It’s DANCE!

  • Everything on stage should matter and have a reason to be done.

  • Are you sure?

  • No.

  • So, you doubt yourself.

  • To doubt is to be sure.

    Dance connects. 

    I want to connect with people through dance.
    Dance will awake the forgotten feelings, memories and sensations of people. Dance will be the tool to provoke even the uncomfortable feelings that we don’t want to face.
    Dance will also remind us of our beginnings. 

    I want to connect people through dance.
    We are animals that need to co-exist. We feed the energy of one another. With dance, we will breath-in and breath-out together. At times, we will hold
    our breaths altogether.
    We will feel the joy and sadness of the air, express the sounds that are being heard and acknowledge what is surrounding us. All without words. 

    Through dance, I want people to connect back to nature.
    The miraculous gifts that nature is offering us endlessly ...
    The smile of the sunshine, the generous breeze the wind serves, the familiar smell of the earth and even the magical colours that an upset evening pours upon us.
