“Contemporary dance for me is primarily instinctive. My body moves before the complete thoughts can be acknowledged, translated to words. It’s a direct and visual channel to emotions which are then processed, understood and shared. It is also a constant exploration and reassessment to challenge my body to move in different ways, not limit myself and go out of my comfort zone. It’s a fine balance between mind and body, emotion and thought, inside and outside. That idea alone is worth a whole exploration and I am trying to process and navigate between projecting and living in the studio and on stage.”
