I am going to analyze what exactly has happened during this time.
My slow, dedicated rhythms of practice and study.
OK. Let’s take a glimpse into the studio.
After the end, everything started to get cloudy.
After my first year of research at DAS, I arrive with a trailer of what it may, or may not be.

Oasis of serenity is a lonely character, an oblique path, a deviant decision. There's more than one story to tell. Instead, the limits imposed by linear temporalities and human perception are broken. I'm folding this line of research into my method for choreographic thinking, which now materializes into an exploration of images (and image-making embodied practices) and my hormones understood as possible invisible playwrights. Imagine a crack opening in the floor when you walk over it. Disjointed movements and a sweet, dark techno melody make your memories and invisible presences manifest there; in the after-crack landscape. Oasis of Serenity has arrived here to transfer its tragedy.
