ABOUT ME

It's a day in summer of 1997. A 5 year old boy suddenly can't speak a word fluently. Over night something has changed. A new life-long challenge has appeared. He stutters now.

​

This is not as bad as it sounds, I can say today. Back then, it felt like a curse because apparently the "how" is more important than the "what". Try to recite a self written poem to your crush while sounding like a tape which got stuck in the recorder.

​

We all have feelings which we want to share. Human beings want to impress and express. If words can't do that, we find other ways. Mine was dancing. A lot. Then filming myself. Then observing everything. As I had always something to say, I have never stopped communicating. Challenges give you new opportunities of arranging your life and to try out new ways. My challenges made me.

​

Today I am capable of expressing trough words easily (and sometimes that sounds funny too). But also I have learned to understand people trough their appearance, motion, rhythm, hobbies, anxieties and desires.

​

It is impossible not to communicate. Hence nobody has to hide what she or he has to say. If the "how" is a problem, I know a guy who can help.
