Artistic Statement
With my works, I wish to establish a strong connection between the audience and the performer(s). Creating dance works that offer an intimate and immediate meeting space – collectively shared physical experiences – I’m challenging the division in performer and audience. Striving for an experience that bridges bodies – bypassing human intellect – where both performers and audience can meet in a respectful, caring and listening way. I incorporate the somatic learning method Feldenkrais as means to explore the connection within and between people. My Feldenkrais-informed choreographic practice serves as a kinaesthetic-tuning process to create a choreographic vocabulary that invites the audience to look at the present as an ocean of possibilities – with curiosity and the capacity to consciously choose how to treat oneself, others, and equally our planet.
Taking point of departure in the Feldenkrais method I’m in the midst of a personal artistic process to create an intimate dialogue between performer and audience. By interfering with the audience’s nervous system I wish to transform their way of experiencing the world – as an invitation to delve into fantasies about new ways of being with oneself and one’s surroundings.
