Reflections on dance as a practice 
For me, dance has different faces. It allows me to ground myself, making me present in my body. Through movement I find different dimensions or capacities of my physical body that I want to research, explore and share with others. I encourage a curious mindset and playfulness in my workshops, as well as stillness, deep listening to yourself and the other and reflection through movement. Contact improvisation in specific is, to me, both a physical research and play with gravity, as well as a listening practice that allows you to connect differently to the people around you and can offer a mirror to your ways of relating to the ones around you.
