My passion and profession is the moving body. My field of practice is the dance – especially Contact Improvisation. I love to share the dance – first of all by simply dancing with others. But secondarily also through teaching it, which surprisingly connects back to what I originally studied – becomming a high school teacher. So, now I make my living by teaching others to connect to their bodies, to move efficiently and with delight. I support them find their dance and to explore the heartful and intelligent network of encounters in bigger groups. I still perform CI based improvisations now and then - even though I have big qdoubts around it. But it keeps me questioning and learning.

Teaching workshops and training programs are clarly the major part of my work: dancecontact.de, moving-body.de

and supporting and organizing festivals: contact-meets-contemporary.de, contact-festival-madrid
