Her research centers on the dramaturgy of piano recitals, audience participation in digital performances, and the role of music in raising social awareness—particularly for women and girls. She employs participatory action research to co-create online piano performances, aiming to foster inclusivity in classical music. Her work critically examines how interdisciplinary strategies—integrating theatre, dance, and visual arts—can transform traditional recital formats.
Her recent publications and performances explore themes such as liveness in digital concerts, emotional expression through the toy piano, and the spatial and narrative dimensions of performance.
