I am a Bermudian, Wales-based dancer, choreographer, writer, and director performing and creating dance theatre works for stage, public space, and film that explore themes of intersectional identity, mental health and wellbeing, and empowerment to challenge myself and audiences toward introspection and social change. I’m passionate about integrating access and exploring multilingual work with a specific focus on British Sign Language, Welsh, and English.
I have had an extensive career performing and touring with Ballet Cymru throughout the United Kingdom, China and Bermuda; with Citrus Arts circus company, Ransack Dance, Theatr Iolo, The Successors of the Mandingue, Laku Neg, Frân Wen, Arad Goch, and Theatr Cymru. As a freelance, self-producing artist I have performed for the National Gallery for 'HOME zero' created by: Love Ssega, commissioned by Nesta and National Gallery X; commissioned by Music Theatre Wales Opera to create ‘Somehow’; and in 2025 toured my work Remarkable Rhythm to Zamek Culture Centre, Poland. And as choreographer and movement director I have worked with Ballet Cymru, Welsh National Opera, Wales Millennium Centre, National Theatre Wales, Theatr Cymru, Arad Goch, Sherman Theatre and Tala Lee-Turton Productions.
Throughout my career, I have been supported, through funding and commissions, by Arts Council Wales, Bermuda Arts Council, Ballet Cymru, Theatr Iolo, Ffilm Cymru, Clwstwr, Music Theatre Wales, National Theatre Wales, BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Arts, The Space, Unlimited, National Dance Company Wales, National Dance Foundation of Bermuda, South East Dance, BFI Network Wales, Theatr Cymru, and Wales Arts International.
My first film, Daughters of the Sea premiered on BBC4 before being showcased at festivals including Aesthetica Film Festival 2022. I have continued to write and direct shorts including commissions for BBC’s Culture in Quarantine; Ffilm Cymru, BFI Network, BBC Cymru Wales, and BBC Arts; Music Theatre Wales; and National Dance Company Wales for Welsh Government’s Wales in Germany 2021. My most recent film, SEVEN premiered at the 2024 Essence Film Festival in New Orleans.
Alongside my screen and stage script writing I’ve written articles for Wales Arts Review’s collaboration with The Guardian, People Dancing’s Animated Magazine, contributed to Parthian Books’ ‘Woman’s Wales?’ and Black in Scotland’s ‘Black Oot Here and There’ exhibition, and my self-published children’s book ‘Whimsy’ sits in Welsh and Bermudian libraries. I’ve been commissioned by Heart of Wales Fringe Theatre Festival to write my bilingual (Welsh/English) play ‘Aderyn’, and a bilingual children’s poem for Booktrust Big Welsh Rhyme Time.
Alongside creating and performing, I also set aside time to support the development of future generations of artists as a dance practitioner for the Arts Council Wales’ Lead Creative Schools and Cynefin programmes and writing practitioner for Literature Wales; as well as ad hoc artist mentoring. In 2021 I founded the Our Voice Network, a network which exists to empower, platform, and develop artists of the Global Majority.
Currently, I am Associate Artist for Ballet Cymru, Trustee for National Dance Company Wales, a member of Theatre for Young Audiences Cymru, and Literature Wales’ 2025 - 2026 Representing Wales cohort.
