I have primarily developed and worked with children, adolescents and vulnerable communities in various social sites and environments, crossing genres and cross-pollinating with other creative media. I am interested in community dance making, somatics and re-appraising ideas on what dance is and can be; I recently contributed to a new book (Re) claiming Ballet – edited by Dr Adesola Akinleye.
Critical to my work as an educator and practitioner are the ideas that dance links the physical and emotional self with others and that self-expression through movement is a necessary form of communication and social change.
