Bio
My work is concerned with experience and transformation between public and private bodies and spaces. A movement towards re-experiencing and reorienting inside our entangled, inherited political and experiential bodies.

Diving into Lisa’s work again and joining the group will be an honour. I look forward to bringing my practice and voice into this multi layered, multi dimensional research. Some of my current questions:
> How can dance continue to allow us to enter a sense of other in a shared space?
> Can dance continue to transport us further into our own bodies and help us shape understanding?
> In which ways can dance continue to open debate, challenge and stimulate our thinking bodies moving us into the 21st century?
> Why is presenting diversity, queerness and cultural difference essential right now?
