I first started dancing at the age of eighteen with my University’s dance team, Imperial College London. Since then, I have been active in the London dance community, training with various teachers, performing in shows, and creating my own pieces.
Throughout the four years I have been involved in Body Politic, I have choreographed for the Breezeblocks video and Reflections, performed at Pegasus Theatre in February 2016. Most recently, I performed at Body Politic’s 4 year anniversary show case, Profectus at Chisenhale Theatre. All of which were accomplished with my dance partner in crime, and best friend in life, Stephen Brown. In October 2016, Reflections was awarded Arts Council England funding. I look forward to further develop Reflections, creating two new works. I’m excited for my continued involvement this dynamic and exciting company.
I began dancing in 2010 when I started University. Since then, I have joined a number of teams within the London community, building my ability to dance, choreograph and teach internationally. Over this period, I have performed at well known venues such as Saddlers Wells, Wembley Arena and the Dominion Theatre.
My most notable achievements have been with Body Politic where I, alongside my closest friend Derek Mok, have choreographed for their previous theatre piece, Reflections in February 2016. Additionally we’ve created the Body Politic Dance video “Breezeblocks”, and have choreographed and performed for multiple events and showcases. Through love of the art form, I have danced alongside many of my inspirations within the community, whilst creating my own works that I am immensely proud of.
