The ocean within us
An improvisation for 3 bodies that hadn’t danced together for a long time, a tree, and a cage surrounded by love locks of lovers past.
Christine He, born in Germany, received her diploma in Contemporary Dance at the Ballett Akademie Nuremberg/Fuerth (Germany) from 2004 to 2008. There she also discovered her passion for choreography.
