Batarita, choreographer, dancer, director, teacher.
She is an artist of instinct dance. By getting rid of all the sikns she expresses her emotions and searches the truth. Her art is painful and phisical. Her works – uniquely in Hungary – have strong relation to the Asian culture, particularly to butoh.
At the beginning her works are based on her research in psychology, specailsed on instincts and distress. She was developing her style by experimenting the body’s suddenness and its innovations through expressivity and abstraction. Her choreographic works become live by the flows of energies and the emotionful acting.
Working with artists from other fields took an important role in the creative process. Contemporary composers and visual artist are the choreographer’s permanent colleagues.
She graduated as a coreographer at the Hungarian Dance Academy. Since 1998 she has her own dance company. She has been making choreographies, teaching and performing abroad since 2001.
