ONE SENTENCE ABOUT RÖGESZME/OBSESSION
My body lives a life of its own, yet there are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin, when nothing is unabsorbed, we go on filled with lingering sensations, breasting the world with half finished phrases, these are the things that for ever interrupt the process upon which I am eternally engaged of finding some perfect phrase that fits this very moment exactly…

ONE SENTENCE ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER
"My aim of endeavour is to keep moving, sharing and challenging myself, defining and redefining movement to find the beauty, liberation, despite the dangers and the fear… the exposing of bare energy is my motivation and questioning the internal limit of thinking as inspired by the purity and complexity of the body and the life it lives.

ONE SENTENCE ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHER'S GOALS RÖGESZME/OBSESSION
My privilege & goal with the talented, open and creative dancers of BCDA & Rögeszme/Obsession was to work with them to understand their  body further than their common ways and search deeper in order to create what is unexpected, to challenge the physical intelligence, strength and movement capacity through persistence and patience, searching for the precision, intention and intensity of movement through a form of body consciousness, breaking limits in order to be innovative, impulsive and instinctive through the continuous, ongoing questioning of the body as a communicative vessel.
