Collection: CHOREOGRAPHIES OF THE INVISIBLE
My choreographic practice emerged from a desire to understand movement from within. While studying visual arts, I began collaborating with performance artists, guiding them through improvisational processes that explored authenticity, perception, and embodied presence. These early experiences were nourished by dance training, workshops at the Centre National de la Danse, Micadanses, and later by my studies at Trinity Laban in London.
There, I encountered a rich ecosystem of somatic practices—yoga, Pilates, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering, Contact Improvisation, and Rolfing—which profoundly transformed my understanding of movement. Choreography became not the organization of steps, but the composition of states of being.
My work developed through long-term collaborations with dancers such as Guiomar Campos Acosta, Simon Wehrli, and Anastasia Kostner. Together, we explored movement as a language of perception, where technique serves not virtuosity but the emergence of presence. I became increasingly interested in what happens before expression: the subtle shifts of attention, weight, breath, and sensation that shape the body's relationship to gravity, space, and others.
For me, choreography is an ethics as much as an art form. It is rooted in listening, trust, and respect for the intelligence of the body. I have never been interested in spectacle for its own sake, nor in the glorification of technical mastery. What moves me is the fragile moment when a body ceases to perform an image of itself and becomes fully present.
Years of teaching movement, therapeutic bodywork, and accompanying individuals through profound transformations reinforced this conviction. The body carries memory, resilience, vulnerability, and imagination. To work with movement is therefore to engage with the whole human being.
Today, after decades of practice, creation, teaching, and research, I approach choreography as a form of poetic knowledge. Through movement, I seek to create spaces where perception deepens, where sensation becomes thought, and where the body rediscovers its capacity for freedom, relation, and grace.
