Hi! I am Michelle, a Final Year BA Dance Student who just loves to move.

My Skills
I am a trained dancer who can embody most dance forms. Taking Design Dialogues in the previous year I have developed an understanding for lighting, sound and visual narratives within a project. Although I am no expert I am comfortable using Q-lab as well as video editing. I am comfortable performing on stage, on camera, site specifically etc. I choreograph as well as dance and have a great movement analysis understanding being a level 2 personal trainer and certified nutritionist too.

My Experience

Ballroom and Latin dancer since the age of 3 and have been trained in contemporary, ballet and South Asian dance forms. I am currently the Artistic Director of Actual size Dance Company alongside Gabija continuously developing choreography, team synergy and techniques. I've had the privilege to be part of Hofesh Shechter and East London Dance's East Wall Performance this summer giving me a whole new perspective into performance.

My Interests

Honestly there isn't a lot I'm not interested in. I'm particularly engrossed by lighting designing, sound scores and of course the movement in a piece. I like researching and writing. I am defiantly a fitness fanatic with a real ardour for how the body moves, how can it move most efficiently with the ability to shift dynamics so that it is aesthetically captivating.

My Ambitions - what I want to do after this course?

This is a very interesting question. The end goal of my 10 year plan is to have a successful company however it's the middle bit that still need refining.
