About me

I am a researcher and dance artist exploring how the body shapes the ways we inhabit and understand the world. Currently Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), I draw on my experience as performer, ethnographer, and theorist to study the body as both cultural phenomenon and expressive device. At the intersection of cultural and medical anthropology, phenomenology of the body and illness, arts and health, dance and performance studies, and embodied cognition, I approach the body as a creative agent through which we experience, interpret, and transform our worlds.
