Winner of the ‘Best Steam Project Award’ 2021 at Esplora's Steam awards, Diversely Typical is a contemporary dance performance campaign which shines a light on neurodiversity. It's a unique dance piece choreographed to highlight every behavioral nuance of certain neurological disorders and to stop the stigma against the behavior of those with neuroatypical brains. Portrayed through dance and spoken text, taken from real testimonies of neurodivergent children and adolescents, it explores the natural variation in human genes known as neurodiversity, which results in conditions such as Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), among others. Like cultural or gender diversity, neurodiversity is a reality, reflecting human variation — in this case, the spectrum of neurological difference. any children and adults with various conditions such as ADHD, Autism, Asperger’s, Giftedness etc, are having to constantly restrain themselves from acting in ways which actually help them cope with their surrounding environment. Very often the inability to stim or cover their ears or not look someone in the eyes instigates more stress and anxiety as they have to constantly fight behaviors which come natural to them. Anxiety amongst neurodiversity people is one of the main things they struggle with, and the inability to act in a certain way in public, is leading to a sense of inadequacy, loneliness and a reluctance to interact. As a result, the main objective of this performance is to question why neurotypicals' social behavior is deemed acceptable whereas other behaviors are not, even though they are probably more important to them than our actions are to us for our sense of well being. Just because we can’t understand a behavior, it does not mean that we cannot accept it.  ​ ​https://new-european-bauhaus.europa.eu/festival_en

Performance The Other Door- What's Wrong Why Not?
25-28 July 2024 Dance Festival Malta

The other door challenges societal norms and explores alternative possibilities. The body, stripped of its socially constructed layers, can reveal deeper, more authentic truths that go beyond what is acceptable highlighting the ambiguity of the human experience, touching on concepts of gender and culture. A pseudo-society where ambiguity is experienced both personally and in contrast to others. The body is seen as an ever-evolving entity, constantly exposing new facets of identity. By stepping through The Other Door, the audience is invited to experiment with their own identity and embrace a space where they can truly be themselves. In the context of intimacy and vulnerability, this exploration of the body and identity can also extend to the act of kissing. Kissing, beyond its sexual connotations, but as an intimate gesture that transcends societal constructs which individuals to connect on a deeper level, expressing vulnerability and authentic emotions. Kissing, as a powerful symbol of breaking free from societal expectations and embracing one's true self, moment of genuine connection, where individuals express their identities and desires without judgment or constraints.

Performance Carmen
27 October 2024 Dinam Festival  Timisoara

Inspired by the fiery character, the piece is a modern take on the timeless opera, with iconic scenes reinterpreted through contemporary dance, dynamically peppered with flamenco influences. The head-strong and self-sufficient Carmen is led by a persistent desire to be free to love whoever she wants. On the other hand, the innocent and chaste Micaela brings about a natural foil of contrast to the passionate and seductive lead. Love, desire and duty ravage the characters to create a compelling performance bursting with emotion.
