In 1993 Teker won the Fulbright Research Fellowship went back to New York for a year. While exploring the latest developments in somatic theories she also continued working on her choreographic work. After returning back to Turkey she continued teaching MSGSU Modern Dance Department. She gave great importance to the knowledge of anatomy in all her works. With special permission from universities she participated in Anatomy Lessons at Istanbul University Faculty of Medicine Summer School to examine the level of anatomy knowledge a dance student needs. Her anatomy-based classical technique lessons, which she transformed into a laboratory environment, played an important role in students\u2019 gaining the ability to perceive and analyze their own development in multidimensional ways.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the 1990\u2019s she discovered the power of the space and became a site\u00ad-specific choreographer. It was a \u00a0revolutionary period for her. The starting point of her dance and inspiration came from space. As a result much deeper new relationships emerged between the body and the space which has led to the arise of works such as \u201cSIKI-\u015e (TIR) MAK\u201d and \u201cDance Exhibition\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the 2000\u2019s Teker returned back to stage but main future of her work was to be process oriented rather than result oriented.\u00a0\u00a0In ten years, she produced only three pieces. \u201cDensity\u201d received a special award at the 22. Zurich Theaterspektakel \u201caKabi\u201d and \u201charS\u201d have been acclaimed in many renowned festivals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the 2010s, unexpectedly theatrical elements, more precisely human relations and interactions, have been included in her creation process. \u201cThree Phases\u201d. was a meeting of her experiences that she had accumulated over the years. It was about the use of objects and space together, to establish a different relationship with the audience. The other interactive piece \u201cHallo!\u201d has performed in Berlin within the frame of Tanz Im August 2018 and in Milan Festival of Silence May 2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
