I've been growing, researching, and creating in dance since 2006. I started in Russia with contemporary dance and contact improvisation; After that – when I already moved to Bulgaria and later to Germany – The Authentic Movement, Butoh, The Axis Syllabus, Feldenkrais, and Ilan Lev Method as well as Body-Mind-Centering, Dance Improvisation, and Instant Composition grew into my background and have nourished my dance art until now.

I am based in Hamburg and teach and organize contact and dance improvisation events here.
