I was born in Johannesburg of Greek decent. The strains of music and dance were a constant feature while I was growing up. While studying at university, my love for dance and movement led me to train as a contemporary dancer and teacher and for ten years I was a member of the Moving Into Dance Company. My formal education is as an architect and urban designer and presently I run an architectural practice with an interest in Visionary/Spiritual architecture. I am also a part time lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand in the School of Architecture. The common thread running through both my construction-related work and dance has been the development of people, exploring ways of enhancing their skills and providing opportunities for personal growth.
