On what I do and Upcoming Performances
The words translation and interpretation emerge both as term and meaning when witnessing or reading a piece of art, performance or text. Further talking about the experienced is again translating our own understanding back into words, text and language. If everything is text - following and reinterpreting Jacques Derrida's words - then what does it mean to read, perceive, interpret?
I see my work as always situated in the inbetween spaces, wether it may be described as the work of a dancer, choreographer, artist or as art work, a dance piece, an installation or text, into and out of the body. I believe in art as universally understood without offering only one understanding. Making people think and reflect as its main purpose. An art of moving, to move and make move,

Photo Project with Martin Miseré.
The aim of the project is to compensate the loss of fees for dancers by selling artistically high-quality photographs. Most of the income, after deduction of the printing costs, goes to the dancers shown on the purchased photo.
ΣΤΙΓΜΑ1 (stigma)
HIV / AIDS scheint heutzutage für viele Menschen nur noch ein Gespenst der 80er und 90er Jahre zu sein, welchem man keine allzu große Aufmerksamkeit widmen muss, beziehungsweise über welches man bereits alles zu wissen scheint. Im Rahmen der Performance ΣΤΙΓΜΑ1 (stigma) begeben sich die Performer*innen zusammen mit professionellen Künstler*innen auf eine Reise durch den Alltag HIV / AIDS-infizierter Menschen und thematisieren offensichtliche, aber auch versteckte Formen von Stigmatisierung und deren negative Folgen für die Lebensführung der Betroffenen. Wie tolerant und aufgeklärt sind wir wirklich?

Ever since the City Dance Köln from 2016 under the artistic direction of Stephanie Thiersch/mouvoir, our collective has been evolving and is becoming a format on its own in a mix of Parkour and Contemporary Dance throughout different spaces. With invitations to festivals in Cologne and elsewhere. The make a move collective is moving on, now also with the support of IKF and ecce, Stadt Köln, Kunststiftung NRW and Landesbüro Freie Darstellende Künste NRW for "positive Anschläge 0.1"
