Since 2014 he has been exploring the possibilities of the moving human body and the empty space in relation to the terms concealment, withdrawal and dispossession, having Mr. Bush Hartshorn as a mentor. During this process he presented three choreographic works in Cyprus.

During this residency the project “Documenting Emptiness” was researched and a performance was given.
A choreographic result deriving from a three-week residency at Akropoditi Dance Centre based on an ongoing study concerning body decentralization and the investigation of the terms concealment, dispossession and withdrawal, towards intensifying emptiness.
