WHAT DO YOU SEE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED?

An artistic investigation into the theme of fantasy/imagination…
A skill we all share? What facets can it have, what possibilities does it open up? Where are its good sides, where are its dark sides?

Where does that imagination lead?

… To safe places?
… To bold utopias? …
…To a place where it is always possible to play? …
…To an escape from the world? …
…Far away from you, the person in front of me?

I would like to pursue these questions both in dance performance and in video. My artistic approach is characterised by a love of experimentation, an experimental focus and a process-oriented approach. That is why I develop my performance works based on improvisation. Improvisation also plays an essential role in the finished pieces.
