In her work she invests life through movement vocabulary
that is primarily affected by character (theatre) and dramaturgy. Her background in fine arts influences her strongly visual
stage designs. Since 1993 she has been engaged in the integration of plastic arts, theatre script and movement. Her professional movement experience
includes ballet, Modern, contemporary training, internal martial arts; improvisation skills; Butoh; Clowning; as well as mime
and circus experience, with strong acrobatic background (Gymnastic Athlete).
She also explores voice-work through her performances. A social-cultural interest is clear in her work. She has three years experience as a social worker and has done research with disabled performers. Since 2003 she has been active in a cultural exchange between Arab and Jewish artists, teaching and
giving trainings to mixed groups, in Nazareth, Acco, Jaffa and Jerusalem. She teaches and conducts workshops in dance and physical theatre integrating energetic and creative
processes, focusing on the kinesthetic understanding of the body-in-motion, visualization and character.
In 2007 she initiated ‘the
Lab’ – exploring physical work with professional performers.
