Creative Practice
Making
Within the realm of cross-disciplinarity, I make my pieces at the intersection of movement, sound and poetry. Collaboration with artists from different backgrounds is the corner stone of my practice as a choreographer. To see the full list of works, click here.
Performing
I collaborate with national and international dance makers. I take part in improvisational performances as well as pre-set choreographic pieces and company repertories.
Teaching
I teach a movement practice, from beginner to advanced movers, which derives its principles from Floorwork, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Release Technique and Limón Technique. Get in touch for more information about workshops and classes.
from you
Lastly, I would recommend Yildiz as an instructor to anyone looking for an awesome dance class that is not only a workout, but a chance to enjoy the moment in our busy lives.
Yildiz did an amazing job as an instructor and proves how less work to accommodate the emotional weight many are carrying, and work that has an informal tone, can lead to a far richer learning experience during this time.
