i am a choreographer, composer, and dance teacher with a diverse
background in contemporary and urban dance. my movement vocabulary is
shaped by 16 years of street dance (L.A. hip-hop, popping) and 11 years
of contemporary dance. i hold a bachelor of arts in contemporary dance
and a master of arts in choreography from folkwang university of
arts, essen. currently, i am pursuing a master of music in integrative
composition at ICEM, folkwang university of arts, which i will
complete in april 2025.
my choreographic work was recognized with a nomination for the
kurt-jooss-preis 2019 for my piece regnet es at PACT Zollverein
Choreographic Center. since 2019,i have been working as a choreography
assistant, composer, and dancer with YIBU. from 2013 to 2017, i was a
guest artist with pina bausch tanztheater wuppertal, an experience that
profoundly shaped my artistic voice.
my career also extends into the urban and commercial dance world, where
I collaborated with nike, adidas, puma, odlo, bentley, porsche, BMW, and
audi (2007–2011). additionally, i have performed on stage for national
and international music artists and appeared in various TV shows.
with over 12 years of experience teaching international masterclasses and
workshops, I bridge the worlds of contemporary and urban dance through
authentic and creative bodywork & training, deeply influenced by music.
before fully dedicating myself to dance, music and art, i worked as an
IT-system engineer (2003–2005) after completing my professional training
at GIT in gelsenkirchen-buer (1999–2002).
i am fluent in german and english — but above all, movement is my mother
tongue.
