I have been working with my body since I was a teenager, training in ballet,
physical theatre and acrobatics. In 2001 I graduated with a BA (Hons.) in
Theatre Practice and Contemporary Circus. Since then, I have toured both with my
own company and with different circus companies around the world. All these
years of experience has given me a very good understanding of my body, of human
anatomy and its mechanics, as well as good proprioceptive and kinaesthetic
awareness. However, despite the use of tools such as visualisations or breathing
and relaxation techniques for performance purposes, my physical training had
mostly been learnt from a Western perspective, which favours an “external”
training of the body over a somatic or “internal” understanding.
