COMPOSITION & CHOREOGRAPHIE & PERFORMANCE
I graduated as a choreographer, dancer, improvisation/composition-teacher at 'Codarts' Rotterdam, Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in the Netherlands. My masters degree for performance & theater I finalized at 'Dasarts', Amsterdam, 'Hogeschool voor de Kunsten', in the Netherlands. During the Covid Pandemie I followed sound study-seminars at KASK/EPAS, Belgium and developed my practice as a sound-artist further. Since 2024 I am studying at MOVEUS for the Somatic Movement Educator degree, which is working with experiential anatomy.
While working with my performance-duo SKILLS I continued on developing 'Sonic Choreographies'. Materials and objects transformed into instruments and generated sounds, which were combines with a wide range of electronic instruments, microphones, speaker, synthesizers, voice and the use of interview material. Performances often relate to environments and their historical, political, social context, their sonic load, their atmosphere.'Deep-Listening'-practices and somatic approaches get entangled. Dancers and performers move and create their universe within object-landscapes and evolve into moving sculptures. Under the title of the 'resonating body' I place my research to combine perspectives somatic practices with vibrant sonic works.
A morphing of the physical body through time and space turns into an ever changing dance. We are in a continuous change and movement, there is no stillness, no silence. Since many years I am interested in the relationship between sound and movement, choreography and composition and the shared ground they have. The psychological and social states of places, people and the sonic translation finds form within the interdisciplinary performances.I try to get the public involved emotionally, with their bodies and minds. I want to create meaning and search for ways to uncover it.
