Olivia trained in contemporary dance at John Moores University in Liverpool where she recently completed a BA (hons) Degree in Dance Studies. Whilst at John Moores Olivia was an Educational Outreach Worker in JMUpstart Dance Company (artistic director Angie Walton) where she managed and facilitated outreach projects. As well as more traditional contemporary training Olivia has worked somatically, looking at improvisation, contact improvisation and Skinner Release Technique, with Manny Emslie. After graduation Olivia was a Dance Captain for Aletta Collins for the Big Dance 2008 in London's Trafalgar Square. Most recently she has toured with the Nottingham based company, 'Dance Equation' led by Rebecca Hart. The company specialises in contemporary performances for children combining maths and dance to create an interactive and educational show. She has also worked with the company on outreach projects and has choreographed live dance as well as a music video for 'Nottz Danzers', a youth company founded by Dance Equation. Now back in Manchester as well as teaching for Footlights, Olivia is busy performing and choreographing with a company called Hullabaloo. This fresh new company's current tour is a fast paced sensory onslaught of physicality and strength set to a backdrop of experimental rock music |
