Creating opportunities for children and young people to experience contemporary dance was the starting point of my long-standing work in cultural education. In numerous school projects, this developed into shared artistic processes in which young people discovered their own forms of expression and brought their experiences and ideas to life in performances – encounters that also enriched my own artistic practice.
