'open

playful'
Dramaturg & Intimacy Coordinator
I focus on the body, movement, intimacy and human connections through a queer and intersectional lens. This perspective, questioning labels and structures, leads towards a critical practice with an activist, but sensual touch. I hope to contribute to dialogue, connections, exploration and opening of perspectives.
​
Through my broad interest and curiosity combined with a natural sensitivity for other people, my practice involves understanding, developing and translating ideas and needs. I'm interested to apply this practice in personal, collective and creation processes, in various fields of art and society.

For people who are not in the position to provide the financial means, please don't hesitate to get in touch if you honestly feel that we should connect. For me, connections in the most diverse way are enriching my life and practice. I know situations can be difficult and I don't discriminate. I love to meet you and we can always see what we can manage, now or in the future, with me or with another connection or organization.
