I am a writer, theater maker, theater critic, educator, and performance artist from Prizren, Kosova, residing in Nashville, Tennessee. My practice is rooted on assiduous research that grounds on critical theory, cultural studies, oral histories and narratives, institutional and personal archives. I work as a cross-media performance artist, focused on site-specific participatory performance that is informed by the formation, structural maintenance, shift in function and degradation of spaces, in congruence with the individual and collective reception and memory. For over a decade, I have devised theater workshops with children and youth, developing original plays that voice the stories of deported/repatriated teens of marginal groups such as the Roma, the Ashkali, the Gorani in Kosova.

I has studied Playwriting & Scriptwriting at The Academy of Arts in Prishtina, Theater Critique and Dramaturgy at University of Istanbul as well as I hold an MA in Live Art and Performance Studies from Theater Academy at Uniarts Helsinki.

My work has been staged and stage-read at the National Theatre of Kosova, Lumbardhi Foundation in Prizren, Unicorn Theater in London, City Theater in Helsinki, Luzerner Theater in Switzerland, Waldstock Festival in Pengniz, Germany, to mention a few. I am a Theatertreffen Berlin fellow. My writings have been published by The Balkan Literary Herald, The Theater Times in New York, No Niin Magazine in Helsinki and lately Music City Review in Nashville, Tennessee.
