Working at the intersection of production and curation, with eclectic, boundary-pushing artists and the institutions that support them.
Get in touch
I support artists and arts organisations to develop their visions within space, time, and budget, across live performance, live music, the club scene, and contemporary art.
Based in Berlin for over a decade, I have built a practice spanning both institutional and independent contexts, producing large-scale live events, developing dance programmes, and serving on national jury panels for choreography. My work moves fluidly between production and curation, bringing the same rigour to a 50-person event as to a 10,000+ person festival. Over the years I have built a reliable network of collaborators across every discipline, from sound to lighting design, front of house team, artists, and music producers. I am able to source the right set of partners from alternative to institutional contexts.

Curatorial Projects
My curatorial practice moves across contemporary dance, ballet, urban and performative forms, with a consistent interest in site-specific work that plays on the porosity between audience and performance. I am working toward a deconstruction of traditional theatre times, the beginning and the end are structural markers of many venues, my work tends to fade them away, turning cultural spaces into a catalyst for bonding and lingering together. The work gathered below is made exclusively with artists who operate at the edges of their disciplines, often shaped by queer perspectives and marginalised voices.
My experience ranges from artist residencies to fully realised performances, and large-scale live events. For several years I shaped the dance programme at TRAUMA Arts and Culture in Berlin, consistently oriented toward experimentation and early-stage artists, providing infrastructure and curatorial support for work for emerging local artists and also for international artists. More recently, I have been developing Ripe, an independent series pairing wine with live performance and music. The next event is coming up on September 24th.
