"training: my work has its roots in dance and music. i studied voice (opera), law (austrian) and dance (contemporary) at the university of salzburg and the mozarteum.

choreography cannot be constricted, however. it is all about the feeling how movement is perceived, every movement. it was due to our sense for kinaesthesia and our ability for being empathetic that we fully understood our teddy bears - today, we admire the elegance of a crane. the increased upright - the genuine axis of the wish for elevation in dance - forms the basis for artful elevation. conducted by humans, cars, diggers, cranes, aeroplanes, whichever vehicles, become the electric amplifier of a dance that erupts like rock 'n' roll from the stifling air of the theatre, its space self-referential and formatted too tightly. i understand drama as an evolutionary creature. art acts on the basis of memetic instances: copy, variation and selection form the algorithm of the system art, which unremittingly saves beauty anew, without signification and orientation.
