Art and motherhood
I would like to share some additional details from my biography that I believe are essential for a deeper understanding of my personality, qualities, motivations, determination, and commitment.
​An artist never stops being an artist even as a mother.
2021
I joined the L1 Association and soon discovered I was pregnant. Despite this, I was asked to perform my solo piece. Due to the physical limitations of my pregnancy (25 weeks), I adapted by teaching the movements to another dancer. I revised the dramaturgy, incorporating myself and a singer into the performance. That evening, I presented "28+2," a piece reflecting my feelings about pregnancy and my body's limitations.
​
I also received a grant from the Hungarian National Fund (IZP, NKA). As part of the program, I needed to present a 12-minute performance for the curators to secure further funding for a full 40-minute piece. Anticipating my due date, I meticulously arranged everything to ensure the performance could proceed without me. Remarkably, while experiencing contractions in the hospital, I provided final instructions about space and lighting. The outcome was successful, and I got the funding for the complete piece.
2022
Eight months after my C-section, I performed my solo at L1 Eves. Embracing my new mindset and altered body, I used these changes as inspiration during the performance.
​
I received a residency grant from NKA, allowing my dancers and me to conduct a two-week research period for our piece, "Rage." During this time, my husband cared for our child, who celebrated his first birthday at the residency.
At the premier's event, I performed my solo.
2023
At the beginning of 2023, I learned I was expecting my second child. At six months pregnant, I created a solo version of "Rage" for L1 Eves and even served as the light technician for the performance.
​
A few weeks before my due date, I was asked to perform both my solo and "Rage." Seizing the opportunity, I taught my solo material to another dancer while eight months pregnant. The festival took place just two weeks before my due date. Ultimately, I had the chance to collaborate with the theater's light technicians and my dancers.
​
Experiencing my pieces alongside my child and knowing her presence allowed me to be there was an incredibly fulfilling experience. I am deeply grateful for these moments.
