me

I grew up in the 80ties and 90ties in a city that is spreading between hills in central Europe. After school I moved north-west into the squats and studied theatre- and costume-design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, where I learned how to translate stories into space; I went for exchange to Latvijas Makslas Akademija in Riga, where I entirely communicated without words in almost complete darkness (live life in a black-box) and widened my perception and ways of observation; I did my master in performance studies at the university of Hamburg and started to deal deeply with presence, with body, mind, heart and letting go…

Now, next to other things, I usually work differently in different theatre-, performance-, and art-projects in different places and with different people… I also started to love to pass on what I learned.

I belief in transformation and rituals and integration, love music, travel a lot, breath in nature, work with my hands, dream stories, meet friends, practice awareness, do yoga, need dancing and laughter and silence and breaks and all that…

I am on the way… to be continued…
