Dances, ABC TV, 2018 (dir. Ramon Watkins; watch on iview here)
My cross-disciplinary performance practice encompasses movement and spoken word. I aim to temper the rigidity of words with the fluidity of physical motion, communicating in a register that is both cognitive and embodied.

As a dancer and choreographer, I work primarily in the genres of hip-hop/urban and lyrical, though I dabble in commercial and house. My practice centres on queering, and I devise and perform either straight choreography or ‘collisions’ of word and movement. In terms of spoken word, I’m known mostly for my poetry; however, I host events and read nonfiction (whether in a serious or a comedic fashion) as well.
