Teaching

For the last few years, I’ve been working as a guest lecturer in the following institutions, sharing knowledge in the fields of choreography and composition.
Please contact me, if you are interested in a seminar.
This can go, for ex. hand in hand with the book “Symmetry, Alibis & Intuition“(2023) – see below – a collection of working methods that I wrote together with dramaturg Matthias Quabbe.
