Movement
"Teds dancing is electric, gravity is not an issue. There are highs and lows, moments of anger and calm. Exploding, deep, heavy, moving , a constant roll of integral feelings, from inspiring enlightenment to the end of the world."
- Dame Tracey Emin CBE RA
Ted's approach to movement - be it for their own performances, movement direction and choreography for film, artist development for fellow performers or dance workshops where they share their knowledge with non-professionals is fuelled by their extraordinary history as a world class performer.
Their entry into fine-art was due in part to their participation in the works of many now-renowned artists including Lindsey Mendick, Rosie Hastings and Hannah Quinlan, Anthea Hamilton, Jenkyn Van Zyl and Gray Wielebinski. Ted has performed in and choreographed for live performance and film works of these artists at: Carl Freedman Gallery, The Hayward, Tate Britain, Edel Assanti, FACT Liverpool, The Royal Academy, Arcadia Missa and the ICA.
Post studying Musical Theatre at Performers College in Essex; Ted attributes a major part of their development to their time dancing under the choreographic direction of Holly Blakey.
"Dancing for Holly was the first time I truly felt seen and embraced as a full human; with all my fury, rage, elegance and brilliance. She never held me back. She always embraced my full ability and gave me challenges for my appetite to feast on. We were the dirt of the floor, excavated, elevated and spewed out in glorious sprays of spit and divinity."
Since 2020 Ted has been developing their own choreographic language and understanding of where they sit best across the worlds of film, art and dance.
