I am an intersectional feminist storyteller focusing on immersive movement, dance theatre and other forms of what I define as strategic fabulation. My work is political and most of it has taken place in intergovernmental spaces. It bridges artistic and community-centric practice, academia and high-level policy advocacy through strategic communication interventions rolled out on behalf of social justice movements, research institutes and international organizations. As a PhD candidate at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw), I investigate how participatory art performance and practice centred on synchronized and semantically enriched movement can influence collective perceptions of social justice - deconstructing the patriarchy and other systems of oppression ‘one shimmy at a time’.
