No Holds Barre, 2022

I have been immersed in dance from an early age and wholly believe it is a universal human trait that, regardless of ability, positively affects our lives. The dancing in the video captures the blissful experience of uninhibited dance, be that in a bedroom, rave or on stage. Whilst performing, my hands and feet were covered in charcoal and impressed upon the paper I danced upon. The traces from my movements formed the basis of the charcoal drawings which now depict stills of myself dancing. Various manipulations were made to the video that reflect the all-consuming and ecstatic experience of dance.
