"Baby Piece"

I didn't know how is it to have a baby, till I've got a baby.

«Baby piece» is a solo research and reflection on pregnancy, birth and living with a baby. It`s a combination of thoughts and feelings about being mother and being a new born baby framed into the dance performance.

It was not so easy for me as a dancer to be pregnant, to face changes in my body and feel a fear if I can dance again. It was not so easy to find a way to live with a baby. It's funny, it's tiring, it's so fulfilling.
