About me
I am a performance artist, director, sound designer, writer and actor, working since 2010 as freelance, as part of a collective of international artists, or comissioned/employed by artists and venues across London, Athens, Berlin and Prague. My work revolves mostly around experimental visual physical theatre, making performances which are not based on a script, but rather on the dramaturgy of the body, the image, the sound, the symbols. I vew Art hollistically, as a living organism, therefore, the performances I produce are interdisciplinary covering themes such as Ritual, Post-humanism, The Other, Violence.
