She has also made guest appearances at Kampnagel, Festspielhaus Hellerau, Hamburg State Opera, and internationally in Portugal and Chile, among others. She danced with the Canadian company Corpus Dance Projects in Denmark and will tour Norway and Germany in the summer of 2022.
In Hamburg she has worked as a dancer with choreographers such as Marcelo Doño, Sabine Glenz, Guy Marsan and José Vidal. She is co-founder of the feminist dance collective Kollektiva, with which she has performed at numerous festivals in Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen.
Videographic works have been created in collaboration with Israel Akpan Sunday, Marcelo Doño, Ann-Leonie Niss, Yamile A. Navarro L. and Teresa Lucia Forstreuter, among others.
