lil bit of making shapes to music from class last year! if there’s one thing I love it’s travelling and spinning (stimming are we? 😂) ps I’m still dancing ❤️‍🔥

but… if you want someone in the room who gets it then look no further - having worked internationally as a professional dancer in works ranging from tiny galleries to outdoor works with casts of 100+ to traditional theatre spaces I know what it’s like to be on both sides. Having an artistic access consultant who understands the demand of producing live work can make all the difference as we tailor adjustments to your process to create spectacular work.

Working on Shovel as artist’s access consultant was a dream. After spending some time getting to know the company & rehearsal performance demands I sat down with Daze to implement strategies & tiny tweaks into their practice in a way which worked for them. This allowed us to build a truly accessible & sustainable working environment leading to a happier & healthier team (and sold out shows!)

water? never heard of her….

Vid description: there are three drinks together on a kitchen counter, a green smoothie, orange electrolytes & an iced chai latte. Yellow text reads ‘The holy trinity of neurodivergent hydration’

As a highly masking neurodivergent I have the strange ability to mask my way through life.

This is both a huge privilege (it allows me to be in the right rooms, to appear okay & to figure out some sort of communication) and hugely detrimental to my overall health… it caused me major burn out a few years ago.

Since then I’ve been rebuilding, block by block & have never been happier. Using universal design to figure out my places, routines & workloads has been a game changer and this is how it feels, wonderfully calm ❤️‍🔥

just a little face card moment to say hi after a couple of weeks away ❤️‍🔥

I took some time off and what a joy it was to have some time all to myself. I often chat to my ADHD clients about how important scheduling different types of rest is, but it does tend to be the first thing I forget to do if I’m feeling overwhelmed (oopsie)

If you want to have a chat with someone who’s been there, done that, and just gets it so now has all the tools to support you…. drop me a message ❤️‍🔥

what a wonderful full circle moment ❤️‍🔥

late last year I was @theplacelondon lecturing on creating accessible environments & navigating uni as a disabled student and who did I spot on the wall? me!

I had such a wonderful experience with performing this piece choreographed by @andersduckworth - the process really cemented the idea that I could find ways to support myself & others during creation!

You’re ticking all the boxes; a naturally lit room, lots of different ways to communicate, a rapport with your students & lots of inclusive language throughout class. But… you’re still feeling drained & a little frazzled, even when your students are having a great time!

Too often we forget that just because we’re holding the space our own access requirements don’t just disappear. Work with me to learn how to build real-time strategies & accommodations into class to leave you feeling just as good as when you started ❤️‍🔥

VD: Ze is jumping in a school hall in purple joggers and a black fleece. They move their arms in front of them in time to their bounce. White text reads ‘facilitators… how do you meet your own access needs?’

Excited to be a panelist on this talk hosted by @bodiesinactiondance ❤️‍🔥

‘Creating Spaces for Emotional Work’ will explore care, consent and ethical creative practice. We’ll come together for a thoughtful evening on trauma-informed spaces, consent in storytelling, mental health support, and building cultures of care in the arts.

Next Thursday 26th March at the LGBTQ+ Centre
6:00–7:45pm (doors 5:45pm) (link in bio for tixxxxx)

This event will be BSL interpreted

Moderated by Christopher Matthews, with panelists ZE King, Tigger Blaize & Lidia Ravviso.

what a joy to move in a process with access at its core, with such lovely humans! as a performer it made such a difference to my own experience, and just shows what can be done when we focus on creating accessible environments for all ❤️‍🔥🚀
