Dancer, explorer, facilitator, father, hedonist. I’ve been in a long-term relationship with Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement, and Butoh dance since 2008. With a background in Dance-Movement Therapy and Body-Mind Gestalt Therapy, I create spaces where people can have meaningful somatic experiences.
My practice has been shaped by many incredible teachers, with some of the most influential being Arye Bursztyn, Inna Falkova, Nita Little, Adrian Russi, Mirva Mäkinen, Eckhard Müller, Ray Chung, Angelika Dony, Julyen Hamilton, Alexander Girshon, Maco and Hikaru Inagawa.
As a dancer, I grew up in a cozy and warm CI community in Ukraine, full of experiments, labs, and playful weird initiatives, which probably explains my interests and style preferences.
