Performer
From a clown to a monster, I create and develop my own characters and infuse them with my understanding of movement and body language. I act and model (and teach both!), and perform my entertaining “crowd-sourced improvisations,” taking suggestions from the audience and creating on-the-spot stories. I’ve danced professionally with companies, appeared in multiple music videos, took the lead role in a Pakistani telefilm and had a speaking role in a Pakistani feature film that was released worldwide. Whatever the medium, I bring the stage to life.

Creator
From my own productions to creating for others, I bring ideas to life with a focus on storytelling and movement. I’ve choreographed films, written my own plays, developed short films and stage productions, designed movement, and created conceptual performances using a range of mediums including video, music, theatre, dance, and mime. Each project I do is bespoke – I never copy paste past ideas. Whether they are 5 minutes or 50 minutes, my creative work is grounded in authenticity and storytelling, and reaches across borders and boundaries.

Pioneer
I have created my own technique to understand and teach meaning and movement, Storytelling in Motion. A blend of contemporary movement, physical theatre, and mime, it is a technique that can help everyone, from individuals and practitioners to companies, regardless of level or ability, expand their communication, confidence, and expression. I’ve taught it in cafes and universities, in semester-long courses to one hour workshops. The unique layering approach gives people confidence and generates long term learning.
