Reflections from the Tor and finding my roots…
It’s been a busy time here, because I have had the absolute honour and JOY of choreographing on 17 incredibly talented first year students at Northern School of Contemporary Dance which has been a beautiful outpouring of wisdom from Tulum, but mixed with jetlag/incredibly productive nightime inspiration when I ‘should’ have been sleeping it’s been […]
I nearly pulled my course because I thought it wasn’t good enough…
Oh my goddxx! Honestly I nearly pulled the course on Sunday night because that pesky imposter voice started creeping in to say “I’m not good enough to do that… don’t even bother trying… they’re all going to find out you’re not…” But then I caught myself… And said “Hang on a minute Ella! These are […]

But my favourite part of all […]
“People are lying when they say I am good”
“I’m not good enough to do that” “Don’t bother trying”“They made a mistake” “People are lying when they say I am good” These were things that regularly went through my head in my first career as a dancer! And things it took effort, and daily practice to unlearn. Ella means complete, but for a long […]
