I am a Senior Lecturer in Dance and Course Leader of the BA(Hons) Dance course.
I joined Kingston University in 2016 following a successful career as a dance artist, teacher and project manager working in a variety of community and education settings. I continue some of this work as a Dance Artist for Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music and Dance's youth programme and as a Teacher Training Mentor for the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing.
After completing my BA(Hons) Dance and Drama and MA Dance Studies I worked across the UK delivering outreach projects for dance companies and organisations, such as, Loop Dance Company, Richard Alston Dance Company, Candoco Dance Company, The Place and Surrey County Arts. I have choreographed a variety of performance works (see Professional Practice) including works for Trinity Laban Youth Dance Company and worked as Deputy Choreographer for Royston Maldoom OBE for his Dance Umbrella commission in 2008 at the Royal Albert Hall. I have performed with Danielle Jones' Collective Identity Project Loop Dance Company.
I have taught in several Further Education colleges in London and a specialist performing arts academy in the West Midlands working with gifted and talented young dancers and co-directing two youth dance companies. I have also lead a national cross-curricular dance project for primary schools in my role as Dance Development Officer for The Place.
I lead the BA(Hons) Dance course at Kingston University and teach a variety practice-based modules that include exploring the dance industry (see Teaching and Learning). This includes:
