I am a Czech-born (1985), Basel/Aarau-based psychosomatic sex educator and performance artist. My work bridges body-based education, social engagement, and experimental performance art.
MY APPROACH
is informed by academic studies in psychology and social sciences, and by long-term practice in conscious bdsm, yoga, tantra, qi gong, contact improvisation, theatre improvisation, meditation, breathwork, somatic approach to body, and capoeira. Since 2022, I have also been working with experimental voice practices such as Roy Hart Theatre and Open Voice by Komala Amorini, exploring how voice connects to emotional, mental and physical patterns, and non-binary archetypal expressions.WORK LOCATIONS
Over the years, I have brought my work into diverse spaces—from grassroots, self-organized workshops, retreats to performances at festivals in Europe, Asia, and Australia, intimate art spaces, and collaborations with institutions such as Kunstmuseum Basel, Kaserne Basel, Theater Basel.
In every place I live, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the local community by sharing practices and approaches that have shaped my own development.
WHAT HAS SHAPED ME
Since 2013, I have been closely connected with Schwelle7 in Berlin—an artistic and educational space founded by Felix Ruckert, focused on body practices, sexuality, and performance research. I have collaborated at his event Xplore Festival on Art and Lust in Berlin since 2016 as a presenter, with long-durational experimental performances, and, since 2024, as co-curator of one of the festival's five thematic spaces.
Experiencing life in different parts of the world has deeply shaped my cultural awareness and sensitivity. In 2014, I spent a year in India, where I immersed myself in studying and teaching yoga. The following year, I moved to the Philippines and founded Playground Sibulan—a space dedicated to yoga, meditation, massage, and community events. There, I nurtured a growing yoga community and introduced Contact Improvisation (CI) to the local dance scene by organizing annual CI gatherings from 2015 to 2017. Alongside this, I volunteered in the social sector, supporting women who had experienced sexual violence and facilitating psychosomatic workshops for boys in a youth detention center.
From 2016 to 2019, I was an active member of the Come&Play (former Touch&Play) an international collective at Nowhere Festival in Spain—a radical, DIY, non-commercial, and autonomous event inspired by Burning Man. The collective fostered a queer-feministic, conscious, sex-positive culture through workshops, performances, open dialogue, and community-based living.
In 2019, I founded ThePlace2BE in Basel—a multidisciplinary space for conscious sexuality events, art projects, and discourse. Though the venue paused during the pandemic, I continue to work locally and internationally through performances, collaborations, educational programs in a format of workshops, talks, and 1-2-1 coaching.
