Choreography and Performance for Contemporary Dance
Movement is my language. Whether we are building a solo or a group production, I help you find the story your body is trying to tell. These clips show the performances I have directed and the pieces I have lived.
A glimpse of the dance production 'ARCHETYPE'. This piece is about the different masks we wear when dealing with the world. A beautiful and thought-provoking experience.

Dive into my world of contemporary dance, where every pose tells a story. These are some amazing captures of me and my students, expressing emotion through movement.

When you are lost in your own world, you forget to experience real moments. A conceptual piece exploring themes of being lost and finding yourself through physical theatre and movement.
'Lost and Found'. Started working on a new experimental creation with my students. This is the beginning of our journey.

About this collection
Choreography is never just about learning a series of steps. When we start a project, we spend our first sessions digging into the concept—the mask you are wearing, the emotion you are hiding, or the specific story you want to share. We experiment, we fail, we refine, and eventually, we build a performance that feels entirely authentic to you.
My approach to choreography is built on a blend of my training at Attakalari and my experiences with Akram Khan. It is a mix of contemporary dance, ballet basics, and physical theatre.
When you look at projects like 'Archetype' or 'Lost and Found', you will see that they are not just movements. They are explorations. In 'Archetype', I worked with dancers to examine the masks we wear in different relationships—how we act with friends versus family. 'Lost and Found' is an experimental, ongoing project where we use physical theatre to explore the act of finding oneself.
Whether you need choreography for a competition, a stage production, or a personal film project, I treat it as a collaborative process. We start by establishing a strong foundation of floor work and flow, then move into building the narrative. I provide the technical breakdown and structural guidance, but the expression comes from you. We focus on being real, not being perfect. If you are ready to stop just dancing and start speaking through movement, let us work on it together.
