Researcher at heart, with the body as a dominant medium, he likes to investigate the undercurrents of the human being, consequently integrating bodywork with the psychological and philosophical realms.
Graduated as a contemporary dance artist he left the European Dance Development Center in 2000 with a thorough training in a. o. Release Technique, Body Mind Centering and Butoh. Since then, he continued to develop and enrich his artistic insights and these techniques with influences from Tai Chi, Craniosacral therapy, Visceral therapy and the contemporary spiritual teachings of Faisal Muqaddam. This crystallised into the base of his own integral method of somatic self-development work.
Body Kosmos, emerging from this work, is (like Butoh) rather an artistic investigation in the raw undercurrents of the human situation without that it seeks to analyse it’s content or to reach some kind of enlightenment. It has the potential to be anarchistic yet it has strong healing capacities.
