About me
Thank you for visiting my profile. I work predominantly as a choreographer and movement director, working across many theatrical genres from contemporary dance, to ballet, opera, musicals, film and theatre and drawing on my background as a dancer/singer/actress/acrobat.In my choreographic career I work both independently and also as one half of the choreographic duo, Piper & Chantry whose work includes choreographing the Olivier-nominated David Walliams' productions of 'Gangsta Granny' and 'Billionaire Boy'. Other credits include 'The Last Days of Mankind' for Bristol Old Vic (UK Premiere), the 'Horrible Histories' stage shows, 'Boyhood's End' for ETO and Marquee TV.
I'm also an award-winning film producer working as 'Whoever You Are Productions'. Awards include winner of "Best Producer"' at the Vegas Movie Awards and 'Best Experimental Short of the Year at the 2021 IndieX Annual Awards - both for the short film 'Whoever You Are' which received it's US premiere in Hollywood at Raleigh Studios.
My work as a creative draws on an extensive performance career which has included West End credits (Acro Captain and Swing - Love Never Dies), Royal Opera House (Ballo in Maschera), Sadler's Wells (Alice-Wonderland Through the Looking Glass; Chinese Calligraphy Concert), as well as international performance and film/TV work.
