THREE KEY EVENTS:<\/p>

\u2013 Claire Denis\u2019s film “Beau Travail”\u2014the film captivated me with its aesthetics, physicality, poetry, subtle intensity, and emotional weight, as well as the director\u2019s choice to give the viewer ample time and space to experience the work. It was special to recognize elements that I myself value in the art of dance, and it inspired me to explore my own work more boldly.<\/p>

\u2013 Countertechnique is a method I began practicing intensively four years ago, and it has radically transformed my movement, technique, physical health, and approach to the learning process\u2014and ultimately brought me a great deal of joy and enjoyment in professional dance.<\/p>

\u2013 The experiential performance \u201cKolonija Antika\u201d is a work that, through its creative process and content, has enriched me deeply both as a person and as a performer. Thank you to director Paulius Markevi\u010dius.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
