Dance as a movement form expresses our deepest inner self, in a way which sometimes we have no words to explain. In my own practice I am looking for qualities that provide emotional connectivity to the surroundings and the relationship between me and the audience. Instant composition supports constant transformation through rebirth of a particular art form to create never ending beautiful surprising moments.

In my movement research and execution the specificity, physicality and playfulness interest me most, by keeping me strongly grounded to authenticity. As a dancer I have a strong background in African traditional movements, which makes me a dancer who emancipates and decolonizes the mind and body.

 

​I am a dance artivist with strong human values. And I am convinced that artistry is beyond only having talent. It takes those simple aspects like working hard, communication skills and being kind, etc. These values are so important, and they’re the fundamental aspects in my artistic path. In my dance learning experiences I’m happy that I have learned not only from very experienced teachers and choreographers, but also from the community as well as artists who themselves are also still trying to learn and master their art. In that way we address questions and challenges together in one step at time.

 

My artistic research is based on the relevance of oral traditions in contemporary dance movements, because I strongly believe, working with innovations today, we must learn our roots or our humble beginnings we transited from in different communities. I am interested in bringing creative and artistic work together with the methods that combine indigenous science/knowledge with modern scientific knowledge to respond to instances of communal imbalances. In my point of view this knowledge is very important to achieve a healthy and coherent authentic career.
