About me
- About me
Originally from Palmerston North, and of Belarusian and New Zealand descent, I started by learning ballet from the age of 7. I have a particular interest in community dance.
I completed a PhD in dance anthropology at the Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1991. My topic: comparing ballet and breakdance - looking at who owns, controls, and teaches the styles and their cultural, social, and economic context.
I've worked in arts and dance administration, taught dance at community and tertiary level, and worked freelance using art as a tool for community development.
