DANCE/movement PROJECTS

While I am a contemporary dancer, I am interested in movement more broadly. As a multidisciplinary artist, I enjoy exploring the connections between movement and sound through combining the harp and dance in performance. I dance in contemporary dance productions and collaborate with dancers to write original music for choreography. I have also ventured into theatre, working on movement direction, devising, and choreography with actors.

Choreographer and Performer in the Penguin Parade at Family Fiesta 2025, a highly-interactive roving performance of Emperor Penguins. As Choreographer, I led the team in embodying the physicality of Emperor Penguins and exploring various choreographic shapes. As a Performer, I was Presto the Emperor Penguin. I talked to families, tobogganed around the space, shared fun facts about Emperor Penguins, and interacted with other installations within the festival. Performed from July 9-12 in the Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts, Monash University, Clayton. 

Creative Producer of MUST's weekly Monday Contemporary Dance Workshops, a series of affordable weekly hour-long dance workshops open to the Monash community. Participants do not need prior dance or movement experience to sign up. In most weeks, I taught a short piece of choreography to a different song. I also curated and mentored Guest Artists, who are any students who interested in running their own workshop, in selected weeks. This was done through running an individual session with them prior to the workshop, where they could practice teaching their workshop. This project ran throughout both University semesters in 2025 - March-May and July-October.
