“I started my career at an extremely young age, at the age of six, as a child dancer. My early experiences acquired through different forms of education have already expressed a certain lack of a pedagogical methodology that seeks complex connections: What will happen to those who do not fit into the official categories, who are not satisfied with their subject interests, who find their self-expression in the practice of joint mechanisms?

It was an adequate decision for me to use my impressions, observations, and expertise in the compilation of a creative vision in connection with the KvintEsszencia Master School. I tried to put myself into the attitude of a young artist starting out, so that our school could create an environment where artistic freedom could find space without restrictions, living with the possibilities. Without it, although it is possible to stand on stage, there is no point! We must expect more from ourselves and respect more the audience.”
