“For me, my favourite memory at NBS was choreographing a piece entitled the ‘Untitled Mind’ with Valentin Chou and Alice Godfrey, that was performed at an Open Stage performance. Through choreographing that piece, I learned not only about how to go about expressing my ideas and experiences through dance, but about how to build my idea of artistry with others simultaneously; choreographing this piece was the first time I felt I was able to show who I really was and was the first time I was ever proud of something I’ve done.”

“I will never forget my final performance in a work by Daniel Sellier as a graduating student at NBS. He entrusted me with a solo role - a wonderful terrifying challenge for me at the time. His note to me on opening night read, ’J’ai confiance en toi’. As a young dancer with some insecurity, these were the words I needed to hear. His support gave me courage. Eventually I found my way to contemporary dance where I’ve performed work by many great choreographers, founded my own company [MOonhORsE Dance Theatre], curated a series for older dance artists and continue to perform. I am deeply grateful for a lifelong passion for dance that began with my first ballet class and was fostered during five memorable years at NBS.”
