In her last year, she made the piece keeping busy keeping still in collaboration with Tuur Marinus and Fabian Barba, which was later developed into the quintet Dominos and Butterflies with Franziska Aigner and Gabriel Schenker. In November 2010 STUDIUM, a trio with next to herself Fabián Barba and Tuur Marinus, premièred at the Beursschouwburg in Brussels.

Busy Rocks
Busy Rocks is a contemporary dance collective, formed in 2008 by five P.A.R.T.S. graduates: Franziska Aigner (AT), Fabián Barba (ECU), Marisa Cabal (ES), Tuur Marinus (BE) and Gabriel Schenker (BR). Busy Rocks was founded on artistic affinities and a desire to keep up and deepen the productive interactions that were built throughout the four years spent together at P.A.R.T.S. The collective creates several projects a year, in several constellations.
Busy Rocks is fascinated by the way movements are produced and perceived. They challenge the common perception of the dancer as a virtuous self-propelling body, moving freely through empty, resistance-less space. The Busy Rocks collective functions as an inspirational environment and a platform for a constant and consistent work sharing.
Busy Rocks created the projects Dominos and Butterflies (2009), A Mary Wigman Dance Evening (Fabián Barba, 2009), Studium (Tuur Marinus, 2010), Fields (Franziska Aigner, 2011), A personal yet collective history (Fabián Barba, 2011), As It Fell (Marisa Cabal, Stav Yeini, 2012), Still Animals (Tuur Marinus, 2012). From 2010 to 2012 Busy Rocks is artist-in-residence at Beursschouwburg (Brussels, BE).
