I began my career as a dancer for Ludus Dance Company and Footloose Dance Company before founding and performing with Attik Dance.
As artistic director and choreographer for the company for 19 years presenting performance work nationally to theatre, outdoor locations and rural touring networks. I collaborated with artistic, funding and business partners, to establish Attik Dance as a key organisation for dance in the southwest of England providing dance experiences through performance, education and community work. My job involved being the line manager for all company and freelance staff and developing business plans and funding bids. I also oversaw the marketing and production of both education and performance work.
Freelance dance artist from April 09, work has included
- Developing, teaching and performing in a range or projects – see PROJECTS.
- Choreography – commissions for English Touring Opera, Cornwall Youth Dance Company, The Sterts Theatre, City of Lights Truro and Artkomas Lithuania.
- Teaching – working extensively in partnership with schools, community and health care organisations.
- Mentoring – working with agencies and individuals to support other dancers in their artistic development.
Lecturer BAHONS Dance and Choreography Falmouth University from 2010 – 2016
I see the whole environment as my dance studio and like to create opportunities to bring artists and audiences to unusual sites and landscape locations for performance and training.
