As an independent creator and choreographer she was invited to co-participate in several collaborations with different artists from other disciplines. Starting with dance pieces, she later on developed her choreographic vocabulary towards that of theatre and performing art.


Searching for a certain type of 'realism in dance', the material for her intuitive choreography is inspired by the personality of the performer. Her works can be described as direct and aggressive, and at the same time intimate, intense and with integrity.
Since 1996 she is a choreographer-creator-performer in MONTAZSTROJ.
