Description	BIOGRAPHY After working as a professional dancer for 24 years I felt the desire to fully embrace my other passions: Choreography. In August 2020 I started a new chapter in my life in which my own creativity continues guiding me on a journey of stabilising my own choreographic voice and getting inspired by the artists that crosses my path, developing a dialogue that culminates in something honest and unique. The MA Choreography at the ZHdK came into my life as a place to experiment, to connect and to expand my curiosity and gave me valuable tools that I will cary along my journey. In January 2024 I am happy to start a new important role as the Artistic Director of Tanz & Kunst Königsfelden. DIPLOMA PROJECT Between you and me and… For my Final Master Project wanted to explore the creative work as a collaboration between me and the artists involved. - To understand what my role as a choreographer is in a collaborative process. - To analyse how movement created by the dancers can be translated into my own choreographic voice/signature. - To examine my own process of finding the ownership of the piece. - To expose my creativity through my artistic decisions of what is originally created by others. - To move away from my usual way of choreographing in order to understand if this would become another way for me to work in the future.
