choreography collaboration.

Biography:

My family moved from Laos, Vientiane, to the United Kingdom when I was four. But for one year in Brighton, I have lived in London since and have worked throughout Europe.

In 1991 I attended Lewisham College on their Drama foundation course and followed this with a Dance foundation course, after which I went to the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary dance. Whilst there I was with National Youth Dance Company for two years.

I graduated Rambert School in 1998 and was employed by Richard Alston Dance Company. Since then I have worked for Henri Oguike Dance Company,Wayne McGregor/Random Dance, Glenn Wilkinson, Niklas Laustiola, Alicia Herrero, Bonachela Dance Company, 2007 Bank Project, Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre, Art of Spectra (r&d), Shobana Jayesingh Dance Company, Maresa Von Stockert of Tilted Productions and most recently Nigel Charnock + company.

I have also danced for a number of Opera productions at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Glyndebourne Opera, Opera North and Malmo Opera.

Commercial employment includes dancing for Kylie Minogue and Christina Aguillera. Choreographers assistent to Wayne McGregor on 'Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire'. & Philips Lumiblade, with Laila Diallo, 'You Fade to Light':

Since 2009 I have been associate artist with Step Out Arts:

My work:

At this time I am exploring more conceptual ideas surrounding movement.

Slowly I begin to see that the dances I make have become more connected to how a body may simply move more like a person and not the dancer trained into that person. This is perhaps more of a statement about myself than anyone else, but I am really fascinated in remembering how I moved before I began my training to become a dancer.

Dance to me is about communicating with movement, telling stories, provoking questions, to understand myself and others more through the processes of sharing and creating.
