INFORMATION
Hobbies:
Performance and Culture
I enjoy several forms of performance, and actively pursue my interest in dance and theatre. I have been involved several in theatre companies and dance ensembles at Leeds, as well as choreographing a number of fashion and dance shows. A proactive interest in music has led me to present a number of radio shows on University radio and write a fortnightly music blog.
