Business Owner

In a life governed by laws and bound by gravity I choose to steal away a little piece of flight. Within the performance group Voler — Thieves of Flight, I have found a means to create a human performance celebrating strength, fragility and the splendor of playful expression.“

I am forever the child in awe of those in-​between spaces we often overlook in passing. Doorways, bridges, that imagined spot of a faraway gaze — in midair they are neither heaven nor earth. These are the places I occupy to illuminate the transition from one moment to the next. A simple swatch of silk hanging aloft becomes the perfect juxtaposition to express this fluid transformation. Adding music, the clear melodies and distinctive rhythms accentuate each movement into a gesture like ripples on water.
