"For me, the medium of video is a wonderful complement to my work, since dance is, after all, ephemeral and short-lived. I have realized various video works so far, from experimental to on stage and/or in the form of a short documentary. My last video project MY DANCE SPACE is a good example, which I realized as a reflection of the first lockdown with dancers* and choreographers from Hamburg (February 2021).

In may 2021 the choreographer Yolanda Gutiérrez travelled to Kigali, Rwanda and worked together with rwandese artists like Gretta Ingabire, Celine Manzi and Chris Schwagga aswell as Serge Gyrisha, a young talented, filmmaker, who realized the film.
