General Information

Born in Turkey with Arabic roots, Austrian citizen, founder of Dervish In Progress, reaching Middle East with West to performing arts on stage in Studios through contemporary Whirling dance named DIP.

Mission and Objectives

As a person, 50+ years old and Artist on the goal for 30+ years convinced with the power of contemporary Whirling as source for modern human transformation in all dimensions (physical, mental & emotional)

Main Projects / Activities

Whirling has long been seen through the lens of mysticism, especially Islamic mysticism. Dervish in Progress respects that heritage, yet repositions whirling for contemporary life: as a living practice of active meditation for people moving through speed, distraction, pressure, and emotional strain. Not as a retreat from the world, but as a way to stay centred within it — to organise the body, focus the mind, steady the emotions, and regain inner alignment while life keeps accelerating.
