"At one point in my life, art — and specifically contemporary dance & performance — had a profound impact on the way I think and the choices I make. As a choreographer and teacher, I’ve spent many years working with people from diverse professional and cultural backgrounds. And even now, it still feels like a small miracle to witness how an interest in contemporary dance and performative practices can transform a person — helping them open up, notice more, and feel more deeply.
I believe the most important thing is to find a shared language, to discover that very “key” that unlocks the door to mutual understanding. For me, maramora is a guide — a true bridge between different “universes.” Every person is unique, and artists often speak in their own language — almost like Morse code. And in those moments, a translator becomes essential. Maramora is that translator: subtle, precise, and deeply attuned."
