Summary
As a self-motivated Freelance Contemporary Artist based in Christchurch since January 2020, I love the flow of floor work and partnering, finding different ways of expressing movement. Since my Graduation I have been teaching and working as a freelance artist. From June to October 2024 I was travelling around the UK and Europe dance at many different workshops and intensives while i completed a short stint of company work.
