WHAT DO I DO?
My work is driven by a desire to create an artistic movement of counter-memory. I believe that by revisiting and reimagining history through performance, we can challenge dominant narratives and give voice to marginalized perspectives. Through the power of storytelling and embodied performance, I aim to contribute to a collective consciousness that is more inclusive, diverse, and reflective of what inspires me which is African Rhythm – Tabanka.
“If music be the food of love, play on”
William Shakespeare
Having completed my training in Performance Arts at the University of Salford, I have honed my skills and acquired a solid foundation in the craft of performance. It was during my time at university that I began to delve into the world of contemporary performance, pushing boundaries and challenging traditional notions of theatre.
