Her teaching focuses on the 3R method of performance technique and creative strategy. For learning, appreciating and commenting 'living' in everyday existence and environment through new dance play and storytelling. She developed Expedition Open Cage/Expedisi Buka Sangkar Research Project at Codarts to create UrbanShaman On The Move a Dream Trilogy. The research inspired her to promote dance with hope for inclusion and open to all that will contribute to healing, harmony and health. She is motivated by collaborative process as a 'Moving Collaboratorium', with a changing band of interdisciplinary friends, connecting between home (inner self) and the world. Mapping out images of life in shifting context, questioning identity, culture, power, territoriality.
