״I started dancing after watching the film ‘Mister Gaga’, the research around Gaga was a revolution for me. I never thought dance could be so free, so pleasurable, I immediately wanted to try it and discover it for myself.
Gaga changed my relationship to my body, giving me countless tools to enjoy every part of it, every possibility and also every limitation. It also gave me a lot of insight and tools to live life with more ease and joy. In Gaga, it feels like every physical action has its philosophical mirror, as a physical philosophy..״
