of the essence of movement and presence in a physical,
mental and emotional level as base to stage creation and
development of the different technics and tools of every

In 2012 and 2013 he directed the Kojoteki festival (Lugo) of Butoh and experimental dance. Also collaborate in the coordination of DanceToMeetYou – RipollEsDansa festival en 2012, 2013 and 2014.
“I look for the essence of movement and expression. The authenticity of every being as his way of communication with the world and with itself.
I ask myself again and again questions as
Why do I move? From where do I express? What do I dance for? What do I dance?”
“I face myself through every creative process, I face my existence questions and my comprehension of society. Creation must be an intense challenge.”
