Who am I as a performer?
If you would be sitting in front of me right now I would say: “come watch me perform and you'll find out”  ;)
 
  
What are your ambitions?
On a practical note: I want to perform, to share dance on and off stage with people. I have some names of choreographers I am crushing on to work with in the future, but I won’t name them here, since I dont want to jinx it, heeheh. ;)  
Besides dance, dance, dance I also have a wish to keep doing photography, a passion that is always lingering around next to my main passion of dancing and performing.

My ambitions on a more philosophical note : 
To keep returning and relating to movement as my form of expression. To keep digging and finding new ways of expression through movement and to never stop  refining and articulating that. I love commiting to dance as a form of expression.
 
 
Where do you find inspiration? 
I find inspiration in twisted social interactions and I am deeply passionate and inspired by  raving, and by gabber (both the culture and the music)
 Photography and sculptures also keep inspiring me;  right now I am obsessed with the work “boy with fur hat and newspaper in boot” by Karlheinz Weinberger. 
 
 
What did you do at your internship & what did you learn?
I interned at Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern and worked with many great choreographers.
 I think especially while working with Alan Lucien and Daniel Proietto I had many moments of:"this is why I dance". It sounds super cheesy, but the moments where you truly know why you do what you do, where you feel and embody the answer to that, are key moments for me. I started to love the fact that we entertain people to a certain degree, meanwhile what we, the bodies on stage, do also have a deep political layer. I love the duality of that, I love showing excellent and beautifully refined movement, while also seeing the political relevance in them.
