Her video project All She Likes Is Popping Bubble Wrap (Onassis New Choreographers Festival 8) received the Best Sound Design Award (FIVideodanza, Mexico) and Best Video Art Award (MIFVIF, Venezuela). She co-directed and choreographed the video dance Battle of Fishes, which won Best Cinematography (InShadow) and received Special Recognition (Screendance International). Her duet MOS (ONCF 9) was selected by the European network Aerowaves Twenty23 and toured internationally across Greece and abroad. Her short work Coconut Effect received the Young Jury Award at Danse Élargie 2022 and was later re-presented with students of the Conservatoire de Paris. She was a Stavros Niarchos Foundation Fellow (Artworks Fellowship 2019–2020).
She has also directed the documentaries This Is Not a Statue, which delves into issues of collective memory and representation, and Unseen Horses, a series of interviews exploring the daily life of the Dance Theater Heidelberg company.
