About Me

I am a queer nonbinary dance artist originally from North Carolina, and currently based in London.

 

As a lifelong trained dancer, I work in quite physical, but also creative settings both as a performer, choreographer, producer, and teacher.

 

I am driven by a desire to support artists to take risks, connect to vulnerability, and physically articulate stories untold previously.

 

While my foundation of training is in quite athletic competitive dance in a range of styles, my work now exists within the contemporary world.

 

My practice is infused by principles from floorwork, microbatics, partnering, improvisation, and release. There is also an element of somatic inspiration, as I connect a lot to working from the internal through to external universe as well as tension versus release and breathwork. My work is also very rooted in connectivity- within oneself, each other, and the space. 

 

As a performer, I have recently worked with Krysa Collective on Choreography for the Hundred Thousand choregraphed by Kasia Kuska performed for Frieze London. I also recently worked with artist, Caleb Kunle, performing in his new music video Power. Additionally, I worked with designer and choreographer, Nina Brostrøm Laumann, devising and performing in her new dance and physical theatre work, Metamorphosis, at Camden People’s Theatre. I also worked with Wimbledon university students alongside Naomi Kuyek Cohen, mentoring, devising, and performing in a new dance and physical theatre work, The O Project. Last summer, I also performed in Ben Wright’s A Surrender to Small Humanness at Dock 11 in Berlin. I also performed in the restaging of James Cousins Dance Company’s Sometimes Even Now at Riverstage Dance Festival at The National Theatre. 

 

Another pillar of my artistic practice is recently I was part of Parable Dance’s Mentoring Programme on Inclusive Dance Practice. Additionally, I recently worked on the Young Choreographer’s Programme at Pavilion Dance South West being mentored by Alleyne Dance Company. I am also currently doing Yoga Teacher Training thorough Yoga Haven as well as teaching some Dancing Mindfulness classes with Truefitt Collective.
