Futures live in our bodies.

I am a choreographer, performer and artistic researcher based in Amsterdam. The key aspect of my work is that the body knows things before we can put them into words, and that knowledge deserves to be taken as seriously as data and analysis.

I follow this in two directions. On stage, I make choreographic works about what we learn and what is hidden in the body, especially around manhood. Conversations with Shadows follows a Good Boy who always says yes, and UNFOLDING turns an oversized hoodie into armour, shelter and a symbol of masculinity. In research projects, I explore how people embody the futures and how they shape the realities we live in. I work with groups through movement and share the findings through live performances, most recently with The Hague University of Applied Sciences and the Xulu202X project in Oulu, European Capital of Culture 2026. I also lead Embodied Futures workshops for groups who want to imagine futures through the body.

In both directions, performance is my research method. The live work is where a question gets tested, not where an answer gets illustrated, and it leaves room for the audience to recognise themselves.

My work is honest, playful, dark and funny, often at once. I move from breakdance and improvisation in the lineage of my mentor, Katie Duck, to Body Weather, and I work with voice and text.

I came here by an unusual route. I was a three-time Finnish breakdance champion, studied management and Futures Studies, spent six years as a futures consultant and completed an MA in Performance Practices at ArtEZ. That path is why my work moves between the theatre, the studio and the university.
