From 1993 to 1999 she lived in Frankfurt/Main, where she staged various multimedia dance productions at the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in which the focus was on playing with the viewer's gaze.

In 2003 she received the UNESCO prize for the production Headhunters choreographed with Brazilian dancers in Salvador de Bahia.
