THE TEAM

Gillie Kleiman (co-choreographer/performer) is an artist.  From Gillie’s practice of dance and choreography emerge artworks that manifest as performances, texts, and events, presented in contexts associated with dance, theatre, live art and experimental performance, throughout the UK and across Europe.  She received a first class BA (Hons) from the University of Surrey, was a recipient of the 2008 danceWEB scholarship, and held an AHRC studentship to undertake an MA in Performance and Creative Research at Roehampton University, which she completed with distinction in 2011.  Gillie is one of eight artists who run BELLYFLOP Magazine. She has worked in a range of education and community contexts for more than a decade, and moonlights as an Artistic Assessor for Arts Council England. She is currently supported by Artsadmin’s Artists’ Bursary Scheme.

Sara Lindström (co-choreographer/performer) is an artist from Sweden. Her artistic practice is one of dance and choreography in its broadest manifestations, from live performances to film and site-specific installation work. She graduated with a BA in Dance and Theatre from Trinity Laban in London and shortly after co-founded MIKS, a London based dance company in residence at Greenwich Dance. With MIKS Sara choreographed and performed numerous works between 2005-2011. Her more recent work has unfolded around questions of public space and she has been commissioned to develop site-specific works in various places. In 2012 Sara collaborated as a choreographer with artist duo Lundahl&Seitl with whom she has also worked as a performer over several years. Additionally, Sara’s dance films have been screened internationally.

Susie Green (set and costume designer) makes work that is multi-faceted, branching out into art, fashion, costume and music. The protective and transformative nature of clothing, whereby fantasy can be made visible, and one can both hide and reveal oneself, is of particular interest. Since completing a MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design, London in 2008, Susie’s work has been included in exhibitions including Detail Ohne Titel, Hobrechtstraße 26, Berlin (2012); Modern Empire, La Scatola Gallery, London (2011); Unrealised Potential, NGCA, Sunderland (2010) and New Contemporaries, Cornerhouse Manchester and A Foundation, London (2009).

Tom Martin (photographer, filmmaker, graphic designer and technician) began his freelance photography career immediately after graduating from Central St Martins in 2007, documenting sites of genocide in Rwanda. On returning to the UK he reintroduced elements of his fine art background by combining photography with arts production management. His work has been published widely and ben shown in exhibitions at the National Portrait Gallery and other major spaces.
