»Playing and improvising is something I've been doing my whole life.«
The greatest joy for me in everyday interactions is...: in the subway, in the department store, at school, in the office... to recognize the situation comedy. To react to it with (in)appropriate actions and answers and to instigate (in)possible situations to see what comes out of it.
To lever myself and others out of our comfort zone and to react to each other with curiosity is for me the indispensable motto of every performative and acting action.
This is exactly what I want to convey to my fellow performers I meet.
I am a performer with all my heart.
