Their artistic work interweaves movement, visual and text, with an emphasis on poeticality that reveals contemplative vision, sense of interdependency and underlying presence of the unknown in everyday life. 

In their work with Contact Improvisation, they are interested in encompassing and connecting practitioners to the past, present, and potential future of the form. As well as continuing to share inspirations from their own field of research about deeper integrity of action; the state in which attention, imagination and intuition are embodied in the process of improvisation and self is being expressed as an omnidirectional, collaborative and creative space of expanded awareness.

They are interested in embodiment of the principles in other areas of their work and in everyday life.

In recent years they have been experimenting with placing the practice in the context of a natural environment.
