MY ROLE AT HERMES

I collaborate with Hermes on the realisation of performance experiences. Leadership, presence, empathy and communication are the elements I let emerge in people using theatre, body work and music as tools to express each individual’s potential in relation to the group and the environment in which they act.

WHAT DRIVES ME

I have an unbridled passion for learning, a voracious curiosity that constantly drives me, as well as an incessant need to engage in creative and expressive processes. Being a versatile artist has allowed me to exponentially enrich my repertoire over the years, and it is precisely because I work on many different things that I have developed the ability to create connections between artistic disciplines, cognitive learning and the ability of self-expression. All this in a sort of virtuous circle that feeds on itself and continues to drive me ever deeper.
