Walking. Spinning. Hopping. is a choreographic study of footwork and musicality—how dance can emerge from ordinary movement. Choreographer’s background in House dance influences the work's physical vocabulary, foregrounding the body’s capacity to hold a shared pulse and generate rhythm from within.

In a time saturated with information, tension, and endless streams of stimuli, the artist felt the need to return to the simplest elements in search of the essence of dance and our ability to listen to one another through the potential of silence.
