“Sam creates work to inspire and captivate the imagination.”
Over many years of community arts practice, Sam has developed a strong belief in the value of the arts as a tool for change and the vital role it plays within our lives. Her artistic career began in Visual Arts and Theatre, working for many years as a community artist in a diverse range of contexts, later training in Contemporary Dance. This multi-disciplinary and rich background informs Sam’s work as both dance facilitator, maker and performer.
Sam creates work which aims to inspire and captivate the imagination, challenging traditional perceptions of what dance is and who dances. Work includes site specific projects, dance installation, dance-film, pop-up performances for festivals and unusual spaces and cross art-form collaboration. Welcoming opportunities to develop her practice Sam often takes steps in new and sometimes unknown directions, also collaborating as both a performer and choreographer in dance, theatre and cross art-form contexts.
