about eden
eden (they/them) is a movement artist based in Bristol: they create curious work that questions rather than answers.
Since graduating in 2022 eden has worked across teaching, performance and choreography as well as receiving Arts Council England Funding to research and develop a new performance installation white piece (2024).
eden is currently interested in reframing how audiences interact with their movement works, alongside presenting dance outside of the traditional theatrical context. Their practice often uses improvisational movement and writing as a starting point to explore recurring themes of liminality, grief and ritual.
As a queer, working class artist, eden could not have begun to pursue a career in the arts without numerous free and subsidised opportunities. Moving forward, they aim to focus on community building, creating dance opportunities and advocating for the needs of artists in their community.
In 2025, eden will be completing their ACE funded R&D project developing the performance installation white piece (2024), developing arts resources for the Value of Artists project, commissioned by Bath Spa University, alongside developing their practice as a mover, teacher and facilitator.
In the past, eden has worked with:
eden is interested in Queer Studies, Performance Art, Dance, Verbatim Theatre, Somatic Studies, Interdisciplinary Arts Practices, Grief, Installation Art, Autotheory, Autofiction, Feminism, Site-Specific Performance, Fashion, Collaboration and Dramaturgy (the list is quite exhaustive, but the line had to be drawn somewhere).
