Dance is desire.
It is born from the need to communicate beyond words.
I feel alive. Rooted.
Is present moment.
Is a gift.

While dancing
I find myself dialoguing with
emotions, memories, images.
Sounds, rhythms, textures,
bodies and space.


This dialogue between
the outside/inside allows me
to get lost in time
and makes me travel
to a subconscious awareness.

The tension between having the control and letting go is what challenges me and intrigues me the most in my movement practice.

Tools for

Improvisation Class

This class creates a space of sensitive dialogue, of body conversations and intense physicality through guided movement tasks. It intends to create space in the body to be available and permeable to change, connecting with our imagination, joy and practising constant empathy between each other.
The practice is a platform for individual exploration and group exchange. We investigate about:
- The gaze as a motor of movement. The gaze as a point of contact with one another and as a support for shared improvisation.
- Movement in relation to time-space and rhythm. The "slow motion", "fast motion" and "pause" as cinematographic elements to improvise in dance.
- Dissociation of the extremities and mobility of the spine. How do they relate to gravity and spatial paths?
