I'm a contemporary dancer and researcher with enphasis in contact improvisation, tango, capoeira, playfight, watsu and acroyoga. My main research is in movement semiotics, different "languages" between two or more bodies.

I have created and presented a CI contemporary dance play called "Cada ver", a exquisite cadavre, directed by 4 choreographers and presented SODRE Auditorum, Picadero circus studio and in Teatro Solis during 2021 and 2022.

I have special interest in CI videos in the public space, developing some "documentary" interviews about love and relationships, this project was born in Brazil with Bruno Garrote and taking volume in Tel aviv, with Hofit Rauchberger: where we guide an open researching street jam.

During the pandemic I did a resistance CI festival in Uruguay and a fanzine to keep the memory of this historic moment.

Last year I had facilitate workshops in Tel aviv and Jerusalem. This year (2024) I am in a Latinamerica tour guiding some intensive workshops, giving energy to this beautiful land that has been so exploited by Europe and USA.
