Who are you as a performer/artist?
Wauw, I’m being asked THE question. This is a complex question that asks not only the identity of an artist/performer, but also their whole existence that hides behind it. However, I believe the answer for me is simple, regardless of the complexity of the question. And to simply answer, I’m an abundant expressor. I express and share an abundance of feelings, stories and experiences. Carrying my own personal experiences and stories of others within my dance.
What are your ambitions?
Traveling the world with dance while being part of productions that really try to have an impact on society. Which will allow me to take in, enjoy and learn from different cultures. Finally, let those experiences enrich my artistry.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in having fun and enjoying life. During a shower, surfing, climbing or time spent with my special human beings. And finally, by taking time to allow my brain to be creative during these moments!

What did you do at your internship & what did you learn?
I did my internship at Club Guy & Roni, PDC. I did many different projects, from working with choreographers, having research weeks and touring pieces, to help organize festivals. While investing in the community and my own artistry, by practicing different styles that interested me and starting my own project. In styles such as hip hop freestyle, house, a tiny bit of krump, bouldering…. As for the project, called; Wind that stings like a scorpion. Stay tuned for this project! Together with the drummer Filip Mozetic we created a piece where dance and drums meet in a raw and non-hieracle way through freestyle. I learned how to be innovative, adaptable, how to be an independent artist and fulltime dancer within a dance company.
“As ripples of heat rise into the air, the raindrop will slowly evaporate. But it won’t disappear. Sooner or later, that tiny, translucent bead of water will ascend back to the blue skies. Once there, it will bide its time, waiting to return to this troubled earth again…and again. Water remembers. It is humans who forget.”
