Activities
As an ethnochoreologist, my primary focus is research, engaging in academic and scientific writing, attending conferences and symposia, holding lectures and much more.
As a drama and audiovisual artist of Stage Traditional Folk Dance and Music, I create choreographies for the stage, perform, direct, write, and fully engage in the arts.
