Areas of Interest/Summary of Expertise
Site-specific dance and performance. As founder member of seven sisters group, my work focuses on communicating contemporary issues through new and idiosyncratic works that defy labelling. Our highly acclaimed projects are often site-specific and combine contemporary dance, installation, performance art and spoken word.
German born Artistic Director I trained at London Contemporary Dance School and Middlesex University. My artistic career began in Fashion Design and Visual Arts – this background informs my choreography and artistic collaborations. I was an Associate Artist at The Place, London in 1998/99 and received various awards from Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (Germany) and London Arts. I was nominated for the prestigious Jerwood Choreography Award in 2000.
