How long you have been working with the Covent Garden Dance Company?
I started working with the Company in 2014 and performed for 6 years.
What has been your favourite moment whilst performing for CGDC?
The atmosphere, performing in a beautiful venue and theatre and most of all with lovely people.
What are you looking forward to most this year?
I’m looking forward to coming back especially after 4 years and the pandemic. Looking forward to dance again on the Hatch House stage and to see the wonderful Somerset.
What will you be dancing?
I’ll be dancing my new choreography which it is kindly supported by the Dicky Buckle Fund. I’ll be dancing with Jason Kittelberger.
What inspired you to create this piece?
Originally we started the piece in 2020, but then because of Covid we couldn’t continue. So we will finish the piece in July. It will be fresh and with more inspirational memories.
“I want to dedicate the piece to my dear father who passed away from Covid just after I started the creation.”
