Her latest solo dance performance SOMATHEQUE investigates the physical relation between object and human body and the potential for transformation on stage bringing forth the other bodies that each body holds.

She is interested in the relation between idea and body, how imagining and sensing inform each other. Her sources are experiences in improvisation and teaching practice, somatic techniques, philosophical thought and political theory.
