About me

My name is Jane and I am an artist, dancing between forms: dancing, capoeira, poetry, writing, mark making.

I work with improvisation, touch, poetry and mark making to cultivate presence, attention and curiosity.

Improvising in response, and in relation to space, time, self and other(s), I’m curious about how we are all held, interconnected in, and beyond, time.

Enquiries into anatomy, presence, attention to sensation, use of energy and focus support all of my work – though the forms the work takes continually evolve. The body is wise and intricately connected to the world – I choose to notice, and to follow the messages it gifts to me.

Drawing on twenty years of experience I facilitate one to ones, classes and workshops, offer mentoring and support for artists, create performance and lead programmes and projects of different sizes and scopes.

In 2016 I became the Creative Director of Cheshire Dance – in this role I champion the importance of embodied knowledge and of valuing, celebrating and amplifying the creative expression of people from underrepresented communities.
