What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I hate the term emerging as I think artists all have their own trajectory and journey. Some might say that I'm emerging because I don't have a creative home or regular touring works. I would say that creatively I am established. Established in the sense that I know 10000% what looks and feels like my work. Although this constantly evolves, I have full faith that I am consistently becoming the best version of my present self.
I'm aware that in order to continue leveling up, I need to work with others. Learn from others. Collaborate with others. It is through conversation and the space to hold these conversations that new paths are presented. This is something I think you can help the artistic community with.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I know the small dance community in the UAE. I know the people who make the decisions when it comes to not supporting the dance community in the UAE systemically. I would love to have access to trailblazers in other industries for which I can be of use. I can add knowledge on all things performance and entertainment creation. Workshops, training, knowledge, debates, laughs...yalla!
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
All things movement. I work with the human body and the expression of experience. Be it big scale show or small rehearsal Room, the expression of the physical fascinates me. Free time is spent with music, art and poetry - typically imagining what these things look like through the physical body.
