‘uMoya’ by Unmute Dance

A group of diverse dancers pose for a portrait on multiple platforms.

In the summer of 2023 I was commissioned to photograph the production of a diverse dance piece as part of the Liverpool Biennial. ‘uMoya’ by Unmute Dance was incredible to witness. d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent dancers came together to explore their shared lived experience.
