If you still believe in the transformative power of the world and dream of becoming a dancer, an artist or something even greater, you've come to the right place. I'm offering you an arts education that is unparalleled-believable, bold, and stems from the essence of creation. This is the education you've dreamed of, even if life has made you forget.
What I possess is not mere knowledge, but a living, breathing heritage-fresh, vibrant, and woven from the threads of past, present, and future. It transcends the drabness of the ordinary and opens the way to the extraordinary.
If my words have touched a part of your soul and you believe in the limitless possibilities of art, then this is the place for you. Be present at my dance school's Open Day, showcasing its ground-breaking four-year programme starting in December 2025.
Step forward. Believe in the arts. Believe in yourself. Let this be the beginning of your journey.
(It will be cold inside the building, so please dress your hearts in holiday finery considering.)

Open Day is the second chapter in the trilogy that began with the first part, The Show Must Go On / The Graduation, on June 15 in Budapest at the Under500 festival.
In this work, I collaborated with one of my alter egos, Nicole Clore, a multidisciplinary artist, dancer, choreographer, teacher, play and character designer, singer, playwright, actress, and more.
As a working method, I am interested in how to split myself in two (Chaba and Nicole) and create and make artistic choices from these two perspectives. Developing Nicole's character and working with her over the past two years has become a tool and vehicle for me to reconnect with my own true artistic source-the place from which I now need to create.
Nicole Clore originally appeared as part of an educational project of mine, where I led dance workshops using her character and proposed a platform for role-playing and collective world-building within the context of dance classes. I was interested in how I could further develop the character and place it in the context of a traditional dance performance. This led to the creation of the first part of the trilogy, which held up a mirror to stereotypical and problematic aspects of institutionalised dance education - phenomena that are still present in the contemporary dance world - in the context of a fictional dance exam/exam.
