About
Contemporary dance
Engaged in contemporary dance since 1997.
As a performer and dancer participated both in his own productions, and in works of other choreographers. Besides author’s choreographic works he is periodically invited as a dance dramaturg and curator of educational and staging programmes. Pays special interest to the intersection between dance, acting and text.
