PROJECTS & TEACHING
Passing on what inspires me.
I believe contemporary circus, dance and theatre can change the way we experience ourselves and the world around us.
Through workshops, educational projects and artistic collaborations, I share my passion for contemporary circus, movement and storytelling, creating spaces where creativity, confidence and imagination can grow.
Current Projects
Himmelsläufer e.V.
Bringing art to rural communities in Wendland, Germany
At Himmelsläufer e.V., I work as a circus trainer, project developer and co-director of stage productions. Together with a dedicated team, I create artistic experiences for children and young people through modern circus, dance and theatre.
My work includes developing workshops, directing performances and creating participatory cultural projects which brings creative opportunities directly to rural communities.
Kollektiv Zwischenwelten
Art as a space for encounter, participation and social change.
We develop socio-cultural projects that bring people together through artistic experiences and creative participation.
Our work is rooted in the Wendland region and combines different artistic disciplines, including contemporary circus, dance, theatre, directing and film. Through collaborative projects, workshops and cultural initiatives, we create spaces where people can connect, share perspectives and actively shape their communities.
We are particularly interested in the intersection of art, society and participation.
Workshops
Learning through movement, creativity and play.
I offer workshops worldwide for children, young people and adults, drawing on my background in contemporary circus, dance, physical theatre and movement education.
Each workshop can be adapted to different ages, group sizes and contexts.
Awareness Through Movement
Inspired by movement research, dance and body awareness practices, this workshop invites participants to explore movement with curiosity and attention.
The focus lies on perception, creativity and discovering new possibilities within the body.
Handstand & Acro-dance
A playful and progressive introduction to hand balancing and circus techniques.
Participants develop strength, coordination, body awareness and confidence while exploring the art of balance.
Suitable for beginners as well as more experienced movers.
Parent-Child Acro Yoga
A joyful workshop designed for parents and children to connect through movement, trust and play.
Through simple acrobatic exercises, partner work and games, participants experience cooperation, communication and shared success.
Circus Workshops
Workshops combining circus techniques, dance, theatre and improvisation.
Participants are encouraged to develop creativity, self-expression and confidence while working individually and as a group.
In addition to my regular formats, I develop workshops specifically for schools, festivals, cultural organisations and community projects.
Each programme can be adapted to the needs of the participants and the goals of the project.
