My research and dance practice is rooted in the performing body — its limits, contradictions, transformations, repetitions and alternative subjectivities of the human condition — expanded through digital scenography, creating live generative visuals that respond to movement and sound. Alongside, I make costumes / tailored garments and installations — by manipulating fabrics I add a profound layer of physicality.
