🌊 voicing, sounding, choreographing, performing & facilitating 🌱

I am a trans-disciplinary artist, performer and choreographer working with the body, atmospheres, language(s), voice(s) and sound. Through sensuousness, humour and solidarity, my practice and work are motivated by a political ecology of things and by a poetic re-enchantment of the world. Following tensions, curiosities and desires, I am preoccupied with regeneration on an individual, social and planetary level, using fictive imagination to deal with the present and create possibilities.
