"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves."
Carl Jung
"The word “liminal” comes from the Latin limen, which means “threshold”. A liminal space is a doorway, a place of transition. This is the sacred space where old and familiar structures can fall apart, and there is a world ahead of us that we cannot yet see. It is neither here nor there. We are thrown between where we have come from and where we are going."
Created for the graduates of the BA Contemporary Dance program at the Hungarian Dance University.
Showed in May, 2022, at the National Dance Theatre, Budapest.

selfie-sh was inspired by an actual meditation text and a Sylvia Plath poem - questioning the following quotes:
"Self-hatred and self-love are equally self-centred"
(Mason Cooley)
"It is the shattered the broken inside of us that makes us perfect"
(haiku by unknown)
"It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love"
(Voltaire)

Competitive plasticity refers to fact that the brain is adaptive — it self-organizes, meaning that if exercised appropriately it can adapt and change depending on individual needs.
Created for Rambert's Choreographic Platform in 2018, showed also in Resolution Festival.
Inspired by the lyrics of "Before you snap" track written by Yonderboi:
"I have to meet god. I want to ask him a few things.
For example what is our purpose. Because we build our houses, raise our children, harvest our wheat, fight wars, kill each other.
But for what end?
And well, I want to ask him also about my life. I want to find out the truth."
