Melanie is committed to reaching audiences beyond traditional theatre contexts – inviting audiences to engage with art in ways that feel immediate and accessible. Rooted in participatory dance, her practice navigates community-centred work, rural contexts and developing new frameworks to access art.

Melanie is currently completing her MA Dance Research for Professional Practitioners at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and holds a First Class BA (hons) Dance and Choreography degree from Falmouth University. Melanie later trained on Studio Wayne McGregor’s PEER programme and was a Sadler’s Wells 24/25 mentee.

Melanie is joining FRONTLINEdance as a Touring Project Manager, where she will oversee tour and event bookings, film sharings and online events. She looks forward to working with the team to continue sharing their innovative work. To contact Melanie directly, please email:  touring@frontlinedance.co.uk
