About

An artist trained between Paris, Essen, Madrid and Berlin.

My work lives where movement and material meet. I teach, I choreograph, I design stages — and each discipline keeps the others honest.

Portrait of Josepha

I grew up inside theatre. From age seven I was drawn to the stage, and from eleven to ballet — its rigour, its silence, its insistence on the body as a thinking instrument. Years at the Conservatoire de Paris, taught by dancers from the Paris Opera, shaped my classical foundation.

Between fifteen and eighteen I completed Tanzabitur in Essen under the guidance of a ballet dancer from the Cairo Opera. At eighteen I was awarded first prize at Prix Arabesque (International Dance competition). I then turned toward modern dance at EBB · Elephant in Black Box in Madrid, where contemporary movement opened the language I now teach and choreograph in.

In Berlin I am completing a Bachelor in Stage Design at UdK, finishing in July. Alongside my studies I work on film sets and theatre stages, choreograph for venues including Urania Theater and Philharmonie Berlin (The Nutcracker with Tanzschule Zehlendorf), and teach private and group classes in dance, yoga and Pilates. My 200h yoga training was completed with Alex Perez.

I work in English, German and French. I love long rehearsals, warm light, and rooms that ask people to slow down.
