I work as a dancer, choreographer, teacher and body worker in Berlin, Brasil, Romania and England. At the moment I  dance for Jadi Carboni in the piece „On the way to immortality“. With this piece we are touring to Paris, Moskow, Rome and Ancone. I worked for Sibylle Günther/Collage Modern and Silke Wiegand/Shade Seasons. Since 2004 I develop my own choreographic work (e.g. A window from inside out, To be looked at) and have worked in colloborative works such as „JahresGeZeiten“. In my own research I like to use somatic approach such as BMC to explore different themes, with which I can explore the imense possibilities of the body in movement. I also love to teach dance and movement.
