My research interests focus on the intersections between race, gender, sexuality and class in popular performance. My current research looks at intercultural and digital manifestations of Caribbean dance and popular dance on screen. It engages specifically with issues surrounding white femininity within black performance. I hold a PhD in Dance Studies from the University of Chichester. The title of my thesis is: Bruk Out Feminism in the Intercultural Dancehall Queen Scene.
My role at Kingston includes being the Chair of PACE (Performing Arts Community Engagement). Within the Dance programme I also lead the modules 'Popular Dance' and 'Street Dances' and supervise various Research Projects.
I am the Chair of PoPMoves UK- an International Research Group for Performances of the Popular.
Alongside these activities I am also a dance practitioner with Zil'Oka- a French Caribbean Dance Ensemble based in London.
