      Choreographer

      Each dance season I have the opportunity to create a new piece of work, usually group dances and have them entered into dance festivals. Previously, I've had all of my group dances get through to the semi-finals of the British Arts Festival. Each time, I push the dancers to be collaborative and take part in the devising of the work. This role is more in my free time rather than full time.
