She is a resident artist in the Graners de Creació 2019/2022 programme in València with the support of the Consellería de Cultura de la Generalitat Valenciana. She is interested in analysing dance from a critical point of view and is moving towards feeling useful to society with the language of movement as a tool. Her artistic, pedagogical and research practice is linked to the visibility of illness as a creative process and seeks the reformulation of beauty, honesty, social criticism, fragility and error.
