I am a circus choreographer which perform, teach and research. My artistic practice is rooted in live arts and performing arts. My mother is a digital textile artist and my father is a photographer and sculptor, as such my artistry has always involved an affinity to visual arts, working with material,  the designs, the making and manipulation of unusual objects that are constituting a series of props, costumes and set designs which compose the aesthetics of my artistic work.

 

Through my artistic practices, I am developing methods grounded in new materialisms and posthumanism, with a strong engagement for societal and ecological matters. The main recurring themes of my work has been from 2010-2019 the representation and agency of women in circus arts. From 2014, I studied ways to break the nature/culture and human/non human divide by exploring the relation between sound and motion through interactive technology. From 2019 to 2024, in my doctoral studies in choreography, and the making and touring of the piece Multiverse, I have explored circus practices through my ageing body, challenging the conventional narrative of an autonomous independent anthropocentric circus protagonist, integrating vulnerability to circus performance. 

 

In my current work, I am exploring signs and signal through circus choreography and the making of semaphores. The work explore the potential of circus art's kinetic and aesthetic modes of transmission for addressing and steering the current ecological paradigm shift with a strong focus on evolving an ethics of movement. My artistic work as a choreographer and performer is reflected by and simultaneously informing my work as an artistic teacher and producer in the arts. Through my activities, I am advocating for experimental zones of practices, and through my writing I am articulating a philosophy of circus which situate the art forms as hopeful practices for the future.
