☀️🍋Dancing 🌈🕸Writing 🌑✨ Singing 🧜♀️🐲 Music 🥁 🐍Choreographer 🖤⚡️Performance 💫 🐆
I am working at the interconnection between text, dance, music and performance art. My practice resides within a poetic theatre of consciousness and myth, especially through the voice (language and music) and the body, and all that resides within and without. Inner reaches of outer space.
I deal with our contemporary situation, asking questions about the challenges humanity faces, and using fictive imagination so as to deal with the present and create possibilities. My work’s intentions are multi-sensorial, witty and aesthetical experiences in the service of a global community.
I create work: Brave (K)new Rave research project (2019), soul-scapes (2018) in collaboration with Catherien Elsen, beat’n’shine (May 2013-May 2014) in collaboration with Nuno Brito within a one year Boost program through Trois C-L, consisting of 8 residencies within Europe, soulsongdances (2013), Two people coming together (2009), I’ll crane for you (2008), a Deborah Hay solo adaptation, Back to the roots with Jimy (2008), it (instead of twenty-one-words) (2006), Wholly (2003)
