Her choreographic works are characterized by an intense scenic atmosphere in which the elegant plasticity of the body is combined with technical elements of dance in a deconstructed form.
Her independent productions include NERVURE (2017), a very acclaimed solo work that has won several international awards and toured widely internationally. Other independent productions such as MEMORABILIA (2019) and TECHNO FAUNA (2021), have been regularly funded by the state of Lower Saxony, Stiftung Niedersachsen, and other German foundations. TECHNO FAUNA was nominated by the Lower Saxony Foundation as one of the most outstanding productions of independent Theatre in Lower Saxony, and presented at the BestOFF Festival in Hannover in 2022 in Germany.
