Welcome to Independent Media Lifestyles new feature, Hang 10.

Question: How long have you been in the arts industry and what was the motivation behind it?

Answer: I started dancing at 6-years-old, so this is a long time ago. But the Flatfoot Dance Company began in 1994 as a training programme for young dancers and grew from there. I suppose dance took me by the heart as it is such an embodied art form with this huge power to tell stories. I love the gentle politics of this.

Q: Which of your projects are you most proud of and why?
