Artist | Researcher | Creative Producer

I create and facilitate work at the intersection of dance, technology, arts education and contemporary art.

As Executive Director at Alexander Whitley Dance Company, I lead the organisation’s strategic development while championing work that pushes the boundaries of movement and technology. Alongside this, I continue my practice as an artist, researcher and creative producer, developing projects that connect choreography, digital innovation, film and installation.

Dance has a unique ability to activate space, unlock new perspectives and help us explore complex ideas through the body. Whether in theatres, galleries, museums or digital environments, my work investigates how movement can create meaningful experiences that encourage reflection, connection and wellbeing.

My creative practice has been commissioned by organisations including Turner Contemporary, the National Maritime Museum and People United, often collaborating with Bethan Peters through our collective, Tessellate. I am particularly interested in placing dance within museums and galleries, creating encounters that invite audiences to experience both movement and place in new ways.

Alongside my artistic work, I completed a PhD in Drama and Performing Arts at De Montfort University, where I developed the Digital Circuit Training Model 1 ll-!an accessible framework for integrating digital technologies into performing arts education. I continue to work with artists, cultural organisations and education providers to develop innovative approaches to creative learning and digital performance.

At Alexander Whitley Dance Company, I have established a Youth Ambassador programme, enabling young artists to work alongside the company, influence our thinking and shape the future of audience engagement. I am also leading an industry partnership with the London College of Fashion, collaborating with the MA Costume Design for Performance programme to explore new relationships between choreography, costume and emerging technologies.

As Creative Producer at Otmo, I have developed programmes that connect UK and international audiences through conversations around body agency, identity and representation in virtual spaces, with a particular focus on non-binary perspectives and embodied digital experiences.

Originally from Yorkshire and now based in Kent, I bring curiosity, collaboration and care to every project. As a mother, I understand the realities of balancing creative practice with family life, and this continues to shape how I lead, collaborate and create.
