About

What weaves all of these passions together? Christina’s focus on creative expression, beauty, harmony and the nurturing of one’s soul. Having traveled and studied around the world, she believes that we are all connected—to each other, the world around us, and deeper meaning. 

In her choreographic work she can blend all these passions together. Christina’ s choreographic approach is greatly influenced by everyday human stories, juxtaposition between the unusual and expected, the familiar and unknown, and by contrasts and absurdity. Drawn to creating images and scenes in which an audience will identify with the characters in familiar situations, within surreal stories that take an audience on a journey into the unknown. Most of the time, her choreographic process begins with creating soundscapes and music collages. Christina is fascinated by the fusion of dance & voice; with disassembling original texts and assigning them to sound effects or music, as well as working with different elements. Her pieces often include physical objects and visuals. Collaborating with filmmakers, writers, poets and stage designers become part of her choreographic work.

Christina is passionate about helping others cultivate a loving relationship with themselves and exerting their unique and positive influence on the world around them.

Christina received a Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Dance from the Place, London Contemporary Dance school, with further studies in Contemporary & Classical Dance and choreography at CalArts and North Carolina School of the Arts.

In 2001 she received a scholarship from the SVTC to participate in the DanceWEB. She worked and studied, among others with choreographers such as Lea Andreson, David Zambrano, Akram Khan, Shioban Davies, Frey Faust, Laurie Booth.

She co-founded tanztheater daisy taff and worked both as a dancer and choreographer from 2002 to 2005. As a freelance choreographer, Christina developed various pieces for theater stages, schools, and events.

Christina has taught dance to adults and children since 2002. Also, she has worked with private clients, run her dance school, and led workshops and retreats, in various methods, including ballet (RAD), contemporary dance, dance theatre, Kreativer Kindertanz, improvisation, yoga, and arts and creative expression. While living in Zurich she was a board member of TanzLobby Zürich.

In 2014 Christina became certified as a yoga teacher. From 2008-2014 she was co-founder & director of the dance school, TanzTheater Kloten.

After the birth of her second daughter, she opened her second dance school in 2014 in Baden, teaching children and young people in classical ballet and contemporary to develop their passion for the art form. More

Co-founding the dance collective Tanztheater Baden in 2016, Christina was creating there as a choreographer, creative director, and dancer from 2016 – 2022.

Alongside her dance studies, she has acquired further certifications by advanced trainings in yoga and meditation, energy healing, and nutrition. She also holds certifications as a fitness trainer (SAFS) and a certified Soul Art ® Guide.

Since her childhood, Christina has explored her passion for the visual arts. She has attended various courses at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste.  She has exhibited her paintings and works on a limited number of commissioned artworks each year. In her solo works, Christina keeps exploring the blending of dance, visual art and sound design. A fusion in which the movements create the lines on the canvas, which later become a painting. In these works the creation process is at the forefront of the performance.

Since the age of 6 she has continually studied Piano.

Alongside creating, teaching and performing Christina developed a signature coaching method. This blends life coaching techniques, psychology, neuroscience research, and elements of yoga. Passionate about the arts and creative expression, Christina combines these with body and energy work, mindful eating and nutrition. The result is a holistic fusion of wisdom regarding the body-mind-soul connectivity. She uses her highly intuitive abilities and energy gifts to benefit her clients at a soul level.
