He started working with modern dance techniques, African dance and alternative theatre at this time, and has been using them in his creative work ever since. Together with Gábor Goda and Ildikó Mándy, he was asked to teach motion at the Academy of Dramatic and Cinematic Art in Budapest, where he worked for one year. The same year he established Palmstage with musician Tamás Sólyom, aiming at creating chamber-like children's programs of high quality.
