A strong part of my identity is that I am a dancer.
When I was fifteen I moved to New York City to study at the School of American Ballet. At nineteen I moved to Copenhagen to work as a ballet dancer with Det Kongelige Teater.
I like riding my mountain bike, switching gears, going downhill
Feeling force and momentum
Holding my balance, falling, spinning, closing my eyes, holding my breath
I like using tools, building things
Reimagining spaces
Being naked
Winter bathing and swimming
Singing, humming, making rhythms
choreographing dances
Sleeping outside
Being upside down
Dancing reminds me of potentialities and restrictions
