BIO:
Shakeera Ahmun is a freelance dance artist and teacher based in Cardiff, Wales.
She is inspired by music and the nuances of melody and rhythm, that drives her physicality and continuously sculpts her movement language. She has also recently experienced working with physical theatre, which has deeply informed her artistic practice.
Shakeera began her dance training at the Rubicon Dance Centre in Cardiff, It was here that she really ignited a passion and drive for a more technical and physical approach to contemporary dance. She then studied at the London Contemporary Dance School where she performed in works by Sasha Waltz, Richard Alston and Tony Adigun.
During her 3rd year with LCDS, she trained at the California Institute of the Arts as an exchange student, where she collaborated with many different artists ranging from dance, music and film.
Since graduating, Shakeera has collaborated with many independent dance and multi-disciplinary artists in Cardiff, Wales.
