For the past four years, I’ve dedicated my art to exploring the intricate world of sleep, inspired by my own struggle with insomnia back in 2017. This journey has included keeping night diaries, consulting with sleep experts, and delving into topics such as sleep cycles, dreams, disorders, activity and passivity, tossing and turning, sleeping pills, the color blue, and sleep clinics. It’s been an incredibly rich and inspiring subject to research and create from!

My exploration began at Dansateliers, where I developed the works Out of the Blue as part of One Night’s Dance and Into the Blue.
While creating these pieces, I revisited the vivid stories from my 2017 sleep diaries: endless nights without rest, intense dreams, nightmares, constant tossing, and even night terrors that left my room in disarray. This personal experience fueled a deep need to shed light on insomnia as a mental health condition, leading me to collaborate with korrelfilm to create the movie L`Heure bleue addressing the topic.

Ultimately, I merged Into the Blue with L’Heure Bleue into a filmic dance performance. This work has been performed over 28 times internationally at prestigious festivals and theaters.

I concluded this chapter of research with Into the Night, a piece that explored the physicality and dynamics of tossing and turning, crafted alongside an incredible group of dancers.
