Description: I create choreography that is motivated by the intimate, physical and emotional connection between dancers with and without disabilities. Through the sense of touch, gesture, weight exchange and common movement vocabulary, the dancers create images in and out of wheelchairs. Through my directives, dancers are encouraged to be curious and active participants in the creative process. A mental image, an emotional state, a visual impression or a compositional task motivates the dance artist to find his / her personal movement. I use a dancer’s inner world to shape my outer vision. The dancer's contribution is as important as the final vison. I find ways for dancers to reveal themselves and to build trust with each other. Strong relationships, deep intimacies and ownership in my choreographies are trademarks in my work.
