About Me

She/her, 26, dancer/choreographer/teacher/researcher living and working project-based. Don't ask me where I live because at this point I don't even know anymore, somewhere between Morocco, Netherlands, Egypt and who knows what else is next.

I have a curious mind and an organising spirit. I'm independent and deeply enjoy spending whole days wandering alone and letting my mind drift off. (And then coming home to a host and sharing my experiences).

I believe in life-long learning and am always looking for connections between arts, science and culture.
I love reading, hiking, visiting expositions, vegetarian cooking and am always open to new ideas and interests.
