My wish is to remind people
of their awesomeness
through my performances
practices and guidance
-
I am an artist, a practitioner and a guide using my own creative practices as methodologies for creation and as practice-based tools that cultivate resilience, authenticity, and creative agency for living, creating, and becoming.
As an artist
I have been creating performances, sound, and interactive experiences with the body and voice as central mediums for over twenty years, with my works being presented locally and internationally. You can read about my current works here.
By translating embodied creative processes into structured yet accessible frameworks, performance which is my main art form, is positioned not only as presentation but as a mode of knowledge, production and transmission. In a sense my art functions as a transformative medium with social, personal, and pedagogical resonance.
As a practitioner
I have developed several methodologies and practices which I teach in the forms of workshops like the IntuNition practice, Performing Biography, The Onion and Art Service, which you can view here
As a guide
I have been teaching and mentoring creatives and artists during their creative process for over 20 years (University of Νιcosia, the Onion coaching). At the same time, I have been coaching individuals during their process of becoming attuned and aligned with their authenticity and uniqueness through my creative practices. I am currently studying to be cerified as a trauma informed life coach to enrich my knowledge and practices even further. See coaching frames here

Art and life as transformative and creative processes
I believe art and life are both creative and transformative processes, which are necessary to each other. You need to transform your perception of reality to create a new one. Both processes are challenging and empowering as one needs to step from fear into courage, from habit to Repatterning, from an old to a new version of self. My work as an artist, practitioner and guide is to support people who have consiously decided to enter this process.

Running projects
Idealist for searching for her own ‘truth’ as an artist, for new sensibilities. Idealist in believing in art as a social practice and in dance as a vehicle for spiritual, social and personal empowerment.
