Further areas of experience in Somatics, contemporary movement techniques, acrobatics and yoga. I am teaching CI and Improvisation since the early 90ies worldwide. These techniques are also the foundation for my SKIN Interactive Performance Concept project, that I have realized in many cities all over South America and Europe with my partner Dani. My main objective is to find to a mutual communication with our partner. In my lessons I try to awaken a playful approach to our bodies in motion, the associated physical forces and touch. In general, I am interested in freedom, lightness and flow in the meeting with our partner and the group.
