- psychic presence inside the body that moves
- transparency of the individual
- flow and grace, which according to Neel includes training in
being ugly.

studied dance in London at the Laban institute for Movement and
Dance. For years she had lessons in African dance. She was a
performer at theater Beest en Zoo and she formed with others the
