former dancer; visual artist, poet, writer, translator…

I was born in Graz, a university town rich in culture and history, located in the middle of Styria, the 'green heart' of Austria – so named due to its extensive forest areas. After a childhood of competitive gymnastics, conservatory-level piano studies, some cheerleading and acting, I had an early start in architecture before zeroing back in on the performing arts.

Later living and working in Vienna and Brussels, I then spent close to twenty years abroad – fifteen of those I called New York City home, with subsequent sojourns in Montreal, Manila and Hong Kong. Following my return to Europe I currently divide my time between Switzerland, Austria and Spain. I am native in German, proficient in English, aspiring in Spanish and conversational in French.

As a retired dancer with international performance experience I now am active in photography, videography, writing, translating, drawing, painting, as well as two- and three-dimensional design. Occasionally I still participate in physical theatre, same as I am delighted by every opportunity to choreograph – after having produced more than one hundred shows in the fields of dance, theatre, performance art and music.

My additional areas of interest and engagement are wellness and the body electric – the interplay of energies and the field; empowerment of female principles, and, in line with my core-interest of deeper meaning, studies in philosophy, cosmology and consciousness.
