About Me

I am a London-based Movement Director and Intimacy Coordinator and Director for stage and screen. As a former dancer, I trained for a BA (Hons) in Dance Performance and continued to perform and tour with a wide range of dance and performance companies in the styles of Contemporary, Hip Hop, Swing and West African dance. I also toured nationally and internationally with the rhythm and percussion sensation STOMP over the period of eight years.

​

My movement directing and teacher training began at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama studying for an MA in Movement Studies. My work aims to encourage the actor to utilise an embodied understanding of their movement to inform their overall performance and physical work.

 

As a Movement Director, I specialise in:

  • Character physicality

  • Movement sequences and choreography 

  • Staging and blocking

  • Ensemble and chorus work

  • Animal work

I have taught movement and worked on student productions at LAMDA, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, BADA, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, Rose Bruford College and The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. 

​

My journey into Intimacy Coordination and Direction began in 2019 and since then I have trained with Ita O'Brien at Intimacy On Set and have completed the Moving Body Arts' Intimacy Coordination Mentoring Scheme for TV & Film run by Yarit Dor. This has led to opportunities working on theatre plays and TV productions with NBCUniversal, BBC and ITV.
