Location:

South East London

ABOUT:

I am an artist working across choreography, performance and installation. I make work about my lived experience of being queer and working class; which primarily takes form as auto-fictional pieces of dance theater and constellations of live art, film and text.

In my practice I am studying the body, the way mine wants to naturally move and the way others move with and around me. I am interested in how our bodies can portray, relate to, be a vessel for and caricature the many different facets of our lives. My dancing holds space for intensity. Exploring fullness in emotional states, and viscerality and catharsis within movement, I am interested in pushing to my dynamic extremes as a way to physicalise parts of my human condition that aren't so easily talked about. I make work that feels honest, being somewhat reflective portraits of the things happening to and around me; motivated by a need for visibility, I aim to create physical offers of social commentary as a form of phenomenological activism, demanding space for my unedited trans and working class identity.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
