I have extensive experience of working in a building based repertoire company, and throughout my career I have observed how dancers/parents struggle to continue in the profession after starting a family. With my daughter now in school, I also have first hand experience of this circumstance, and I am passionate about helping to make the performing arts more inclusive of parents and carers. I’m lucky to say I have enjoyed such a fulfilling career whilst being able to be a parent and I would like other dancers, at every stage of their career to have the same opportunities. I think the work of PIPA is paving the way for fantastic change in the world of dance and I’m excited to see what the future brings for the industry and for other parent dancers.
