Ha studiato coreografia in Olanda allo ArtEz-Arnhem Institute of the Arts, e arti visive alla Gerrit Rietveld Academie e al Sandberg Institute di Amsterdam.

Ha presentato il suo lavoro in diverse forme e contesti tra cui Mindaugas Triennial, Contemporary Art Center CAC Vilnius, Biennale Arte Venezia oO Pavillion, a ImPulsTanz Vienna, de Appel Amsterdam, Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen Innsbruck, Tallinn Art Hall, deSingel Antwerp, Tanzquartier Vienna, Kunstverein Langenhagen. Ha realizzato performance e performative conditions come Bad Mood, Internal Conflict, Look Look (con Anne Juren), Once Upon, Ride the Wave Dude (con Mårten Spångberg), Presentation, The Place of the Grave, Animal Jokes (for Animals) & Performances for Pets (entrambe con Alex Bailey).
