Can’t fit 20 yrs of creative work on 1 vid, so here’s a few samples of my choreography, movement & direction CV.

Nah not really. It’s just fun to figure out if a director who uses symbolism a lot would have packed it into this shot/scene. The cereal wasn’t about the cereal itself but separating the ‘white’ from ‘colour’. Many of us thought this. & he debunked it. No drama 👍🏽

Not at all. As an actress, the way he framed it is understandable. Regardless of it not meaning anything to the viewer as it is acting, the act of kissing, touching is still a physical boundary some see differently. He framed it how he felt affected by it,is all. Not weird.

release this video in 1999? This video was supposed to premiere in 2030…😎
Music video breakdown on Spotlight for £150.
Performer, whether you act, dance, sing, move, drive etc in a music video.
Please do not accept any rate lower than £412.30. That is the MINIMUM rate I’ve been sitting in offices with

Not really. It’s relevant to the film as the film is based around racial agenda. These things have a place in film & it’s valid, especially in this instance. Another film, maybe not.
not reallt a reach if it’s to DO with the subject, a reach to say it’s sad & childish.

Yeh it feels like 2 opposite worlds have collided & it’s not making sense. Latoya Jackson being heckled by some Londoner is not computing in my head!

Totally hear & respect your post, problem is…regular people have had THEIR health politicised, especially recently with the NHS. Can understand why there are a lot of angry people who might feel differently to you as they have felt let down. Ppl can be sad but ppl can be angry.
“So now we will sell you BACK the wire we took away from the extremely expensive wireless headphones , cos ya know.... you don’t wanna lose em.
But you’ll still have one ear pod that connects to the other via Bluetooth which goes directly through your skull so don’t worry.”

Urgh, hate that this is seen as cheap, but nowadays it really is.
It’s tough when you remember how reasonable rent used to be in london.
My 1st flat was £50 pw in Caledonian rd, £90 pw in Barnsbury & £100 pw in Islington.
This was the $2 to a £1 glory days!
Having a lil funk-stylez jam in my living room this Saturday night.
Haven’t popped or done animation in ages(last battled in 2014-i lost😅)
Thought I’d practice my animation/robot. Nothing special just casual practice & dusting off rusty hinges.
If ya need an android...holla🤖
@Foxtrot_Cop
Nah stop being so divisive. It’s not about North vs South.
No ones had it charmed, we’re all in it differently. Londoners being blamed for heading north for Xmas when it’s a mix of everyone from everywhere. Stop now.
We, the tired people need to get angry at the Gov. that’s it.
Just a little chilled, rusty, laid back Jam with my bad back. Playing with some flows & stops. Love this track & it’s little complexities.

definitely didn’t see smugness. At comps, you need to go In confident.
She didn’t laugh, or even say a word.
She went in & put all the training she pays for to use.
She also gave her opponent a hand on the shoulder as acknowledgment.
She was dignified.
Protest was peaceful today in Hyde Park. Don’t let one incident make you think other wise. Not sure what the media will report but ppl were respectful.
Majority had masks & gloves on.
Proud of london 🖤

Now, time to continue isolation to be safe.
Interesting how this is praised by some, forgetting that there are child soldiers in combat zones & most are abused/forcibly recruited but more importantly, have no choice to either escape poverty or find community.
We live in a strange world.
My estate at 8pm

As long as this highlights the incredible work brave NHS workers do & they receive the payment, standards & more for their tireless dedication... I’ll do this every night if we have to.
We can’t forget about them after this.
We can’t.
Best news I could ever get right now is my best friend since I was 15 is clear of fucking breast cancer! Never know how much anxiety you hold until the good comes & unravels the knot in your stomach.
She accidentally found the lump which is mad.
Check your breasts! ( . )( . )
Sister helped film 1 of my MoCap self tapes for me. It had to last about 2.5 mins with all the physical traits they wanted. Which was a lot.
We were doing so well & got everything spot on until right at the end I decided to stub my toe.
i couldn’t hide it 🤣
Can now post a pic of my crazy hair, make up & costume from

A lot of fun to be a part of thanks to the fam at
@ZooNationUK
Congrats to everyone involved.
My mum had an operation on her spine that finished at 11pm last night.
Visited her this evening and was expecting a tired fragile mum but she’s already walked around the hospital and was chatting away like her normal self.
She’s 69.
She’s bloody great.
Worn many hats in this industry but today stepped in for a talented mate & her ideas as Director for SKY kids.
After creating behind the camera for so long & having people shoot/Dir my work, it was refreshing to be able to make visual choices of how the movement was seen.
🙌🏽🙏🏽
It’s my 6 yr anniversary as a god mother to my wonderful, crazy goddaughter Betsy.
I can’t carry her like this anymore but I know our next convo will be about her art sculptures & how she’s going to ruin the school nativity this Xmas 😅
Feel like I’ve had a minor break through.
Aunt & Uncle on my mums side are racist, live in a small town & anyone non white is a threatening foreigner to them.
Haven’t spoken to them about their views yet bt my aunt just liked 1 of my protest posts.
SO minor bt it gave me hope🙌🏼
Thank you so much for all the love on this video. you all said you wanted it in streaming stores so... VIOLA. PS New Music Next Week Who's READY!!!

Both dressed for 2 different seasons, visiting the beautiful Mdina, stunning gardens & the eerie catacombs 🇲🇹

SO glad my dad doesn’t use social media much. don’t want him to see these scenes.
Think I need a break,
PEACE TO ALL🖤✊🏼
Thank you for the bday messages. Haven’t organised anything for it yet lol but got to spend the actual day with some of my oldest pals. 24yrs of friendship🥰
Thanks to those who wished me well & the lovely cards, flower etc. Appreciated so much during this weird time.
A short b-boy film I had written the brief for 7 yrs ago which I thought was impossible to make is POSSIBLY being shot this year.
I’ve played it over and over in my head of how it would look & it’s ambitious. 💪🏽
4yrs ago today, after Injuries & other obstacles getting in my way, I got my Black Belt.
Love

SO much but I think it might be time to switch to grappling/floor after I recover. Frm current injury.
Anyone made the switch from a standup style to ground? Or do both?

6 yrs ago I performed one of the biggest gigs of my life with a few hundred dancers I’d choreographed for the 2012 Olympics

This lead on to my dance fam boy blue working with dir.Danny Boyle again where I got to assist him on directing our dance short ‘E.O.E’
Pic of me and my best mate of 27 yrs, Violetta.
We used to wear our jeans backward like ‘Kris-Kross’.
Would normally be wearing matching check-shirts but I reckon it was a special occasion so wore our fave clothes & went to Harvester.
My right leg used to be my good leg, after knee surgery a few yrs ago my alignment is still off & my old Leftie is doing all the hard work.
Drilling just spinning hooks today to get that kick landing with power. Messy but getting there 🥋
Next to drill: 360 turning kick.

Never. I’ve found a use for one of them & then the other 24 are safe in the kitchen cupboard for when I REALLY need them.
You’re gonna regret this Rich....

Tried to sum up what I felt on A4 lol.

Seeing someone you used to know/be friends with display the most blatant act of ‘performance activism’ about
#BLM
on national TV, after refusing to personally acknowledge your families struggle & the micro-aggressions you’ve received frm others & also them,
is sad & infuriating.
#BLM
protests are still happening because Police brutality is still happening. Black People are being lynched. Media aren’t really covering it so doesn’t end up on the news/TLs.
know some think this was a flash in the pan but it’s the everyday for many. Pls kp the strength!💪🏽
Myself & the madre are writing together. She’s not in the industry but she’s a speed reader & loves retaining historical info. We rolled up to the British library thinking we could just take out a book we needed that was out of print😅it’s a whole process to even get to books!1/1
Working on some new movement as a human spliced with A.I.
But here’s something basic I made a while back, if you’ve written this type of character into your film/play/show etc…..Holla🦾🤖

riding a bike up the street & singing this evening as I was on the phone walking.
I just stopped & smiled a big cheesy grin at her. She must have thought I was a right weirdo.
But she looked like an ethereal being floating by ✨
Beautiful.
