perspective
Melissa’s artistic and pedagogical research revolves around mindfulness and is inspired by her relationship to nature and practices of sustainability, which informs her exploration of biomechanics and human anatomy.
How to coexist, understand and interact with one another and the environment are pillar-themes of her pedagogical practice, born from a strong desire to operate outside the traditional dance industry context and explore the potential of dealing with dance and movement in social work and community contexts.
Melissa is currently deepening her understanding of the methodology of her educational practice at the Master Programme MA CoDE of the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main.
