Rich range of experience

I see myself as a dance artist. Often I feel inspired by nature, contemporary art exhibitions and museums. By dance performances, books, talks with people, beautiful cities and architecture.

My internship gave me a rich range of experiences, as I had a chance to participate in the various performances and actually perform quite a lot. I was dancing in the performances for the young audiences, improvisation-based work and a piece with a very set material as well. Some of the pieces were implementing a lot of theatricality, singing and speech, some of them required a lot of creativity, fast decision making, sharp attention and constant connection with other dancers as my actions could depend on the actions of the others. I learn a lot about the communication within a dance company and communication with the collegues in the studio and in the company life. During the season I was discovering the workfield in Germany and visited some German theatres. 

In the nearest future I would love to develop my career as a dancer, and later as a maker. As I feel quite inspired by the museum spaces, I feel that I would love to discover its spaces as a maker in the future. But first I want to fulfill my potential as a dancer.
