About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..:

I am a director, dance and visual artist. I was born and raised
in a small village in Switzerland and now live and work in New York. I love to teach movement and like to be engaged in experiments that involve people from different art fields and different cultural backgrounds. In my work, I'm concerned with the relationship between the human body, our visual representation of the world, the architecture we live in, and how other bodies see us and themselves. I seek dance vocabulary in image, place and social context, a choreographic method I describe as "visual motion construction". Recently in my work, I have started to take my inspiration in creating performance works from video documenting daily life in a socio-architectural setting.

Areas of interest on performance and new media

I love the human body in motion in daily life and its emotional gestural expression to non-narrative geometric dance works in time and space. I'm interested in new media that can play/interact together with movement so that everything moves in space and nothing is static. The 2D talks with the 3D and vice versa.
