How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
My everyday life has changed a lot, I am used to frequent university, so I am a commuter and I am used to traveling. During the day I cook, read books, try to expand my tech knowledge, take online classes in the new semester's subjects and keep myself trained by lecturing the girls attending my dance class via webcam.
Your work is built on creativity. While we’re all in quarantine, what is your solution to keep on being creative? Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?
In order to continue to be creative, or rather to rediscover your creativity which is sometimes left aside, do those things that make you forget you are in quarantine. When I start dancing I could be there for hours, I create steps, choreographies. Only doing the things you really love will recharge your creativity.
What is your biggest fear right now?
Never again remember how beautiful the warmth of a hug is.
What will you do once all of this is over?
I imagine the future post Coronavirus very happy for no particular reason. It's only when we lose something that we realize what it's worth. We will understand what is really important and what is only a distraction; we as a generation will probably be much more aware of our behaviour, we have understood what it means to sacrifice the things we previously took for granted. We will probably be even more motivated to pursue our dreams, our aspirations because we have seen that from one moment to the next we can lose everything. We will understand that there is no tomorrow to love, to risk, to aspire to great things, we must do it today because the future is uncertain. We will have a hard time as far as the economy is concerned this is certain, we will re-evaluate the courageous people who have risked and given their lives to cure others. It is a dramatic event that in its tragedy brings back those who remain to find their humanity.
