Over the last years, he has created the performances This Page Intentionally Left Blank, MUTUAL, and the work-in-progress I'mNotReallyHere. His writing has been published in multiple journals, including: b00k "Edition 1 - Yonkers International Press", This Container "Edition 08 - ed. Chloe Chignell, Maia Means, Stefan Govaart" and Letters to Process "Anne Vigeland and Stockholm University". He is currently engaged in a long term research project around the notion of 'Low Intensity Violence' alongside Christine De Smedt and Liza Baliasnaja, an ongoing performance project with Luka Svajda, and is assisting the choreographic work of Mario Barrantes Espinoza. He is also mentoring P.A.R.T.S students for the Training and Research cycles.
