Subject of my work is the search for the nature of human beings. Is it possible to love them, to trust them? They do everything they are capable of in order to live a successful and comfortable life. They follow their needs, longings and dreams, obey egoism and are subjected to compulsion.
Their needs opposes the very own demands. Are moments of joy and cheer, against the background of these contrasts, possible as an awareness of life? Or will they lead to sorrow, loneliness and an unfulfilled longing for commonality?

I acquire the choreographic development of my work in a synthesis of different dance techniques. They mutually compliment and enrich themselves. As a result a very personal dance language emerged, that offers many possibilities and a variety of dramaturgical expressions. Inspiring as well is the occasional concurrence of dance and prose/poetry. I very much enjoy the work with the dancers. Their artistic potential is impulse-giving as much as it inspires me.
I always find the greatest pleasure in my work, through the thematically and choreographically development, from the first step up to fulfillment.
