A Solo Trance About Collective Dance. Our personal quest(ion): “The capacity for collective joy is encoded into us almost as deeply as the capacity for the erotic love of one human for another. We can live without it, as most of us do, but why?...Why not reclaim our distinctively human heritage as creatures who can generate their own ecstatic pleasures out of music, color, and dance?” - Barbara Ehrenreich

I am a professional nomad. House in Seattle, ancestors in Europe, friends on six continents. my home is me. After university in economics, i said goodbye USA and hello Balkans. I came to move ... I’m still here ... dancing. after two years, i am a choreographer, a dancer, a failure, a success, a boy, a man, a student, a teacher, humbled, inspired, selfish, self-less, passionate. but always me. a professional nomad.
