Collaborations
Throughout history, humankind has engaged in movement, dance, and artistic expression spanning millennia. Various facets of human existence, whether commemorating the arrival of a newborn or preparing for war, have intertwined music, color, chants, and dance.
The synergy among diverse artistic domains has been an enduring process since the inception of communal living and the establishment of societies. Collaborations between visual artists and choreographers, as well as poets and dancers, present a myriad of opportunities for artistic expression and aesthetic elegance.
Laura consistently explores, promotes, and embraces professional artistic partnerships and enduring associations. She firmly believes that amalgamating works results in prolific and distinctive artistic achievements.
I am enthusiastic and always ready to cultivate relationships and work with artists from different disciplines to innovate, share ideas, network, and showcase our skills.
With extensive experience in diverse dance styles and performance techniques, I have a proven history of successful partnerships. I customize each collaboration to suit the specific requirements and objectives of my partners and their audiences. I value professionalism and am dedicated to upholding the utmost standards of integrity, confidentiality, and respect in all my engagements.
Throughout my nearly forty years in my professional career, I've been fortunate to partake in numerous international events including dance festivals, art exhibitions, music concerts, theater performances, TV commercials, and film festivals. I find great joy in fostering collaboration and creating new opportunities.
Apart from my engagement in the performing arts, I hold a strong passion for incorporating holistic healing methods into different professional domains. I am excited to collaborate with individuals and organizations that have a shared dedication to improving well-being and cultivating a harmonious atmosphere.
Areas of Collaboration: Leading, and assisting in retreats, workshops, and masterclasses.
Each of these collaborations has enriched my creative journey, providing me with diverse perspectives and inspiring new artistic directions. The fusion of different disciplines has not only broadened my horizons but also fostered a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of art and human experience. Whether it's blending the rhythmic flow of Tai Chi with the expressive movements of somatic dance or integrating evocative poetry with poignant visual art, each partnership has been a testament to the power of collective creativity.
Through these experiences, I've learned that art transcends boundaries, bridging cultures and communities in a shared celebration of beauty and expression. My encounters with these talented individuals have left an indelible mark on my work, pushing me to explore uncharted territories and continuously evolve as an artist. Together, we've created pieces that resonate on a profound level, touching hearts and minds and igniting a spark of inspiration in all who witness them.
