"From the breath, the movement arises, I follow the rhythm of my heart. Smelling, touching, hearing, I dance through each moment of my life. What truly vibrates in my heart, will move, transform and leading me through life."
"Through dance I claim equality between all life forms and their belonging to the natural world. I feel that my duty in this life is to share the value and beauty of performing art with both professionals and non-professionals; to regain the body – knowledge that has been lost. Let s dance to celebrate and respect the multiplicity and diversity of our bodies, which together create the magic of our earthly unity."
