REIMAGINING SPACES

THROUGH MOVEMENT

ABOUT

I am an installation artist creating choreographic works that reimagine everyday spaces. My practice explores the intersections of movement, space and design - using interdisciplinary formats to tell compelling stories.

Rooted in socially engaged processes, I choreograph public installations that navigate lived experience, architecture and community.

I am committed to reaching audiences beyond traditional theatre contexts. Creating installations that exist within and respond to site, I invite audiences to engage with art in ways that feel immediate and accessible.

I work as a choreographer, filmmaker, performer, movement director and dance researcher - expanding the possibilities of movement in public space.

I hold a First Class BA (hons) Dance and Choreography degree from Falmouth University where I trained in choreography, contemporary, ballet, physical theatre, improvisation and research. I later trained on Studio Wayne McGregor’s PEER programme. I am currently a Sadler’s Wells 24/25 mentee through which I am being mentored by Rosemary Lee.
