My work
My artistic outlook is born from over 15 years of work where space has been given especially to bodily thinking and experiencing. My work always begins from the body, its nature, and the rising of its empirical knowledge. As a choreographer, I’m interested in working with the dancer’s nature and the internal or cellular unknown. Nature can’t be controlled, but it can be called out, rise up.
The Collective
In 2006 I gave birth to my second child. That gave me again the possibility to reflect and renew the way I see and experience the world. I had, already, since the the 2003, where I give birth to my first child, started to question many aspects of the dance field. First of all, what and why we do dance in the given frame we’ve got, why we are ”doing dance” in this way, in this world, what dance means for our society. Somehow the dance field start to look very unmeaningful for me.
