I am a freelance dancer based in Berlin. After dancing diverse repertoire in different theaters and projects for over 13 years and adopting different styles - classical, modern, dance theater, etc. - I now work on integrating all of these experiences into my own choreography, while always being open to take part in interesting new projects as a dancer. Together with musicians Mike Hentz & Misha Ognianer I explore the art of free improvisation in sound and motion, performing together with them as "MINAMI" trio.
