I was not sharing so much about it here, because yes I felt unsure about how and when would be the best moment. But I am "officially" working on a new solo.

I am thankful and happy that I got pre-selected by @circusnext with that work and I had the possibility to be part of a lab alongside amazing artists @rigas_cirks . It was such a pleasure to be there. Thank you so much and thank you Rafaël de Paula for your guidance. For the piece itself ther is still a long ride to go, but I am looking forward to it.

I have learnt to ignore. most of my emotions. I act according.
Be yourself, but not too much. Nostalgia, of when it was fun. is it still fun?
how can we stay with the fun? how can we?

BETWEEN ORIGIN AND CONSTRUCTION, EARTH AND PLASTIC, SENSING AND CONTROL
Erde & Plastik is an introspective,
interdisciplinary performance at the
intersection of choreography, contemporary
circus, and performance art. Emerging from
a personal crisis – a series of injuries and the
necessary deconstruction of my artistic practice
– it is a performative exploration of the body’s
vulnerability and its relationship to the earth.
AT ITS CORE LIES THE QUESTION OF THE
BODY’S ECOLOGIES:
How are body and environment intertwined?
What happens when this connection becomes
fragile? What happens when the ground
beneath us is artificial? How can a body remain
resistant – touchable, imperfect, alive?

In recent years, my artistic research has been deeply shaped by a process of reconnecting with my family, my roots, and my mother tongue – a search for my own “ground,” for a place of arrival. But now I think it’s not really about arriving at all. It feels more like a movement toward interdependence and transformation – toward something slower, tangible, and toward the possibility of feeling at home in one’s own body, while allowing dreams and other realities to live within you without being harsh on yourself.

In 2022, I collaborated with @jana_kaesebrot at @soho_studios_otk in Vienna for a site-specific performance. This experience led to my participation in the 2023 “Premieren Tage Innsbruck” art festival @premierentage at @diebackerei , where I presented both a live performance and a video installation.
My current artistic research CIRCUS AS ECOLOGY began with exploring bodily perception in nature, focusing on breathing, skin sensations and slowness.
At this time I was recovering from an injury and that prompted me to rethink and expand my practice.
My aim was to develop my work on the intersection of circus, dance and installation making, sharing my reading and perception of contemporary circus.
I sought reconnection with nature as part of this journey, re-sensitizing and healing my body through experiential outdoor experiments.
Later I brought this sensory and slow experience into the studio. Now it's already something else. Process.
