Adults 1 Cotutor | Jolt Community Class Cotutor

I joined Jolt in 2001 and was a member of the first Jolt class. I have performed in shows with Jolt starting with the first one called Jolt (2002), Tread Softly (2003), Crossing Point (2004), Still (2010), and Let Inside Me Laugh (2007) which explored my own experience of autism.

I was involved in the Halberg Awards with Christ College and Rangi Ruru Girls’ School and did a poster campaign for Arts Access Aotearoa to promote people with significant needs. I attended a summer workshop with Touch Compass where I learnt some new dance activities and how to choreograph works. I have also worked behind the scenes as stage manager for some shows.

I have danced with some talented dancers and worked with choreographers like Fleur De Their, Erica Viedma, Aleasha Seaward amongst others. I was on the Jolt Board for a few years as well.

I am involved with Jolt tutor training which has supported me in my new journey running my own dance class, Bump. I have also volunteered in the children’s class for about 3 years and tutored for Arts Integrated.
