ABOUT
"My artistic practice is rooted in movement and performance but
incorporates and explores other mediums such as film, sound, costume, photography and visual arts. I am interested in capturing feelings that cannot be accurately encapsulated in words and expressing the parts of our identity that fall "outside the box". I have an interest in how the arts connect individuals and communities both in our cultural heritage and also contemporary arts. I take inspiration from surrealism, folklore and politics in my approach to creating work."
Bella graduated with a first class Ba(Hons) in Dance and Choreography from Falmouth University and they have qualified as a Level 2 Fitness Instructor and yoga teacher.
