Performance
My performance work began within acrobatics performing in displays nationally and internationally. With a love for performance this led me on to train at The London Studio Centre gaining a Foundation Degree and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where I graduated in 2014 with a BA Hons Degree in Contemporary Dance. From graduation I spent a year performing, training and teaching in Australia. Since October 2015 I have been working as a freelance artist creating, performing and teaching within both dance and circus disciplines including hand to hand, partner acrobatics and contemporary dance. Within this I have been performing nationally and internationally with indoor and outdoor works.
