“For me the body has always been the starting point to tell a story, whereas words can be specific and beautiful, they can also be misleading or ambiguous, the body has a truth and authenticity difficult to reach otherwise. I am fascinated by the power and expressive energy of the moving body and love to experiment with the emotional dimensions of dance and to stretch the boundaries between dance, theatre and contemporary circus.”
