Choreographer
Dance
BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance - 2012
Studying at Trinity Laban taught me to always challenge myself and be thoughtful in my practice. I was encouraged to go beyond the known and provided with the tools to keep renewing myself both as a performer and as a maker. I feel very lucky for this.
