Connection and belonging through dance

About Me

I am an artist exploring the opportunities dance offers us to connect more deeply to ourselves, others, and the world around us;

I create accessible and welcoming artistic spaces for all people to dance and express themselves. My practice is centred around contemporary dance but often includes conversation, walking, and ‘kitchen dancing’ too!

I enjoy a portfolio career as a freelance artist alongside my work as Artistic Director/CEO of Curious Motion, a non-profit dance organisation that I co-founded in 2019.

Work

I bring people together through performance making, creative workshops, and conversation. My work focuses on access and compassion, supporting under-represented communities and striving for social change.

I create opportunities that are tailored to the needs and aspirations of those involved, with the primary aim of enhancing a sense of belonging and connection.

I have been working professionally for 20 years leading and facilitating projects across a variety of settings. You can find me in hospitals, community halls, hospices, universities, refugee settings, schools, professional dance spaces, parks - pretty much any setting where dance is possible!
