Sommer founded her own studio—Haus Sommer at Uferhallen Kulturwerkstatt—in 2016, where she is researching kinds of physical expression with a number of artists. She is a forerunner in combining ballet, contemporary dance, butoh, shibari, yoga, puppet play, masks, body paint, photo sessions and ability to new forms of performance. Sommer is also a teacher and advisor to directors and choreographers, both from her studio and abroad.
