Previously, he collaborated with companies such as IT Dansa, Danish Dance Theatre, Korzo Theatre, Fors Works, Andersson Dance, Helsingborg City Theatre, Skånes Dansteater, MUOVI, Bora Bora, Cantabile 2, recoil performance group, Folkteatern Gothenburg, Riksteatern/Norrdans, DUM, Tanssiteatteri Minimi, and Dramaten, among others.
He is a member of the production cooperative KOMMA Performance Productions in Denmark, as well as the artistic collective Institute 0.1 and the cultural association DUK47, both based in Slovenia. He is a lecturer at the Conservatory of Music and Ballet Ljubljana – Ballet College (subjects: Basics of Choreography; World Choreographic Resources) and a guest educator at various educational institutions and programs across Europe. He regularly facilitates movement-based workshops for amateurs as well as career-orientation workshops for emerging artists.
His choreographic interest lies in contemporary dance and is strongly driven by socially engaged artistic practices and their potential to create holistic cultural experiences, especially for audiences who may not have access to or connection with the arts. This is reflected in his engagement with societal topics, collaboration with specific communities, and the use of participatory formats.
