Bio

 

Originally from Bristol, I moved to Leeds in 2017 to begin my studies at Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and haven’t left since!

During my final years at the school I became interested in combining film with choreography, and after graduating with first class honours in 2021, began experimenting with the relationship between the moving body and camera.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with 2faced Dance Company, NSCD, Spin Arts, Studio 12 and Sky Arts, and collaborate regularly with fellow artist Luis Dunn under the collective name ‘Ironstone’.

When working, I foster a strong ethos of respect and warmth, and feel privileged to have collaborated and learnt from many talented artists, in many disciplines, along the way.
