about
One of my natural instincts as an artist has always been to shed light on certain human experiences that, instead of being celebrated as the things that unite us, are kept repressed by society, tainted by stigma and taboo. This often leaves people isolated and disconnected. Part of my intention is to use art & performance as a tool that shed a light on these stigmas and explore creatively in a safe environment with others. Through my work, I strive to create safe spaces where underrepresented narratives can be explored and celebrated, fostering connection amidst challenging circumstances.
Over the past decade, I cultivated a multifaceted portfolio, spanning performance works, that intersect approaches of Dance Movement Therapy into performance-making and are marked by action-oriented, site-specific, immersive and co-creative elements. Passionate about art as a catalyst for transformation, I also curate socially engaged community projects. Current projects include Purple Wednesdays -somatic investigation as a catalyst for change and my DYCP funded project The Art of Dying.
I am co-founder/director of the Purple Ladies Collective, where we cultivate creative communities through engagement projects and performances. Our endeavors extend across various settings, from council estates and schools to community centers and art venues. Aiming for inclusivity, and accessibility which lies at the core of our collective practice.
