i worked as an Architect in London for a number of years before formally studying contemporary Dance at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in 2012.

I make work to better understand the bodies relationship to the environment, both physically and not. in my work i ask why alot, compulsivley reflecting on meaning and the contemporary lived experience. i am very interested in pop culture as a capitalist phenomena.

i like creating atmospheres and inhabiting them. in amman it is inevitable to utilise the low tech, the everyday, and the as found as methods of making and to approach projects looking for shortcuts and expediency in executing tasks. making like this is challenging but fun.

as a citizen of a former british mandate who has received a British education and lived in London for a long time I have considered seriously and unseriously how this has shaped my aesthetic sensibilities and artistic values.

dance is solving problems with the body.
