I am a dance maker, performer, facilitator, and producer based in Gateshead, UK.

I have a strong desire to be involved in work that prioritises care and a sense of joy for all those who make and encounter it.

I believe that we can be radically soft, and softly radical.

As a dance maker, my work spans performance for theatre, outdoors, and film, often integrating a practice of embodied writing, and working with improvisation both as a method for making and performance.

I have worked as a facilitator for over 10 years, with experience and enthusiasm in working with both trained and non-trained dancers, of a variety of ages, backgrounds and experiences - and have made work with non-trained dancers in my own work with Annie Dearnley in To Suit, my Dad in Dancing with My Dad and Luca Rutherford in a really small dance.

Most recently, I have co-created work with groups of intergenerational performers in The Answers and Abundance.

My work moves between hyper-local, national, and international contexts.

I am an Associate Artist with No More Nowt, a CPP established in 2024 in County Durham, where I engage in community-led arts practice - often over tea and biscuits - which often involves creating art without saying we are creating art.

My dance work has been presented and screened across the UK, and internationally in Malta, Italy, Canada and USA, and I have been supported by Dance City, The Place, Yorkshire Dance, Cambridge Junction, Northern School of Contemporary Dance, Random Acts, The NewBridge Project, Tyneside Cinema, Gateshead Council and Northumberland County Council.

As a producer, I self-produce my own work while also supporting artists and organisations in the North across dance, education, and outdoor arts, including Curious Arts, Society of Strays, South Tyneside Cultural Education Partnership, Hadrian’s Wall 1900, and Jack Drum Arts.

For the past 8 years, I have collaborated with artist Luca Rutherford to develop interdisciplinary work spanning dance theatre, public art, installation, and community engagement that is rooted in joy and connection.

What connects all of my work is a commitment to care, listening, and joy - creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and connected to their own power.
