Dagmar's artistic practice explores embodiment, human connection, and the complexity of lived experience. Her interdisciplinary works bring dance into dialogue with film, theater, poetry, music, and spoken word, creating spaces for encounter, reflection, and expression. Her work is rooted in a deep interest in the dignity and interconnectedness of human life.
