Where does the performing space begin and end? A dancer and a video artist criss-cross the frontier between audience and stage –
– ‘dancing’ the in-between.

Through that she got involved in Contact Improvisation as well as in other improvisational work, release based technique and bodywork. After a few years of working with movement based improvisation in different international constellations, she started to work with video as a tool related to movement.
Since 2000 she is working in the field of video documentation of contemporary dance. (From 2000 to 2010 mainly in cooperation with Mimecentrum Berlin, where she was involved as well in the development of the database as a research tool for performing arts.) Besides documentation, she has done live video work in performance, as well as artistic video work.
