invented and developed the “FOCUS-POINT TECHNIQUE” 1989,  a composition and training method for body, voice and spatial organisation with the primary aim of (re)establishing dance as a major artform

Since 1989, writes, composes, directs, constructs & choreographs works for space_sound_word pictures_dance, entitled“CHAMBERWORKS” or “PERFORMANCE_INSTALLATION”

writes and performs texts in the form of LYRICAL PROSE and MONOLOGUES in both English and German which are also conceptually integrated

as fundamental elements for the construction of the composition and the sound carpet

studied Dance at the conservatory in Vienna  at SNDO in Amsterdam  and at the Academy of the Arts/EDDC in Arnhem

“chamberworks” the title which the artist gives her work represents also the “Leitmotiv” of her work and through the context of private performance (chamberworks) its  significance is effectively doubled.

Emphasis is given to the intimacy of locus, artist / performer and audience. Within this frame a slow, silent, but vital affinity with history in terms of space and time begins manifested as a form of (art) happening.

…. “innumerable fields of innumerable images” are, layer by layer revealed  to form a “bridge of communication between herself and the audience…..”.
