Based on the real stories and testimonies of LGBTQIA+ people across generations, GROOVE is a brand new performance exploring the dance floor as a place of protest, identity, belonging and desire, embracing what it means to be queer, then, now, and in the future.

As Associate Director with this OUTBOX production, I supported the creative team and performers to devise this original new performance piece, which toured to London and Mancheseter.

Alongside I created and managed participation projects that worked in partnership with the show.
