Chloe is a dance artist based on the Wirral, originally from Hull. Her dance journey started with East Riding Youth Dance in 2016 as part of their County Company, performing at venues such as Northern Ballet, Yorkshire Dance, Burton Constable Hall and Bridlington Spa. She graduated from Liverpool Hope University in 2020 with a first class degree in Dance and Drama and Theatre Studies, and since then has worked as a dance artist and performing arts teacher across the North West.
In 2023-2024, she was the lead artist for the Young Creatives programme, a creative initiative bringing young queer people from Chester and surrounding areas together. The project partnered with Chester Pride, Cheshire Archives, Storyhouse and to explore Cheshire’s queer history in a creative and supportive environment. This project culminated in several exhibitions held as part of Chester Pride, with content developed by the young people during sessions.
In 2024, Chloe was an emerging artist with Small Things Dance Collective, taking a 6 month placement at Alder Hey Hospital as part of ‘Shifting Landscapes’. Here she delivered somatic based movement sessions to pediatric patients on several wards within the hospital.
Chloe was one of the 6 dance artists selected for the Liverpool Dance Prize as part of Leap Dance Festival 2024, where she developed and performed ‘Ember’, a solo performance exploring the intersections of queerness, sexuality and femininity.
Most recently, Chloe has taken on the role as Lead Dance Artist for a new collaborative project between Cheshire Dance, Theatre Porto and Cheshire College South and West. She has developed two pieces in collaboration with Theatre Porto and College students, ‘Reasons to be Cheerful’ (2025) and ‘The Gallery’ (2026). Chloe is excited to see how this project continues to develop and how we can combine theatre and movement to create engaging, meaningful performances for young audiences.
She has worked as dancer and performer for a variety of organisations including Liverpool Empire Theatre (Rise, 2021), WigLe Dance (20 Steps, 2022), 4Wings (Our Liverpool, 2023) EuroFest for Eurovision (The People’s Flag, 2023) and Warrington Arts Festival (Baggage, 2023), and Leap Dance Festival (Banshee, 2024).
Through various workshops and activities, NEXUS creates the space for young people to connect with themselves, their ideas and with others, through dance. NEXUS is a five-year programme funded by the Westminster Foundation.
