In 2020, I was selected for the Writing Dance project with Yorkshire Dance and The Writing Squad, where writers and dance artists worked together to create new and experimental work.

In December 2020, we did some Zoom sessions. My article on this experience, "Teamwork, freedom, and surprising myself", was commissioned and published by Yorkshire Dance.

After working virtually, it was really special to be able to meet in person for a week in July 2021, at the Yorkshire Dance studios in Leeds.

I worked in several different pairs and groups, to create a series of diverse mini-projects. We touched on themes such as mental health, lockdown, food, senses, and relationships. It was a rewarding and invigorating week.
