I consider the presence of dance and the deep relationship to human creativity in my life to be an existential fact. It's like breathing. I have been dancing since I was five years old and the last 22 professionally. Mainly as a dancer, choreographer, and performer, my working in the field is not the result of academic study. Since childhood, I have been interested in various manifestations of corporeality and the phenomenon of human thinking. Today, it is no longer just an area of dance art that I would focus exclusively on. I perceive corporeality as a fundamental precondition for human consciousness, from which the human ability to think and create is born. I believe in the constant movement of the development of individual and collective deepening of perception, thinking, and cognition. I try to transform my own thinking and understanding in my work through creative activity and writing. A relevant example of how and what I think I perceive and experience is the process-oriented artwork, THE TOUCH OF THE OPEN (TOTO), which I have been working on since 2017.
