BIO

As a performer I am drawn to movement with a strong sense of athleticism & enjoy exploring risk and physical challenge. I have a background in ballet and contemporary dance and have a love for immersive works & dance theatre which has led to becoming a strong, gritty and playful dancer.

With a love for versatility and challenge my most recent performance jobs have included queering Austrian folk dance (Bierzelt), working on large scale outdoor pieces (with Southpaw Dance Company) & performing a Lecoq inspired physical theatre show (with BodyScramble).

Training: London Contemporary Dance School BA(Hons), Northern School of Contemporary Dance, MA Dance Performance PPS OPTION
