My name is Billy, and I am artist working between Wales, the Forest of Dean and East Asia. I am deeply interested in how we can curate spaciousness in an increasingly busy and overstimulated world where record numbers of people are facing burnout. I do this through a practice I call ambient dance, which affects how I make theatre, choreograph, facilitate, take photos, make music, bake, garden, brew coffee, go for walks. For me, its a life philosophy of soft noticing. I first coined the term during my 2024 MA in Expanded Dance Practice at London Contemporary Dance School, and since then I’ve been extremely grateful for all the voices and dances that have shaped its continual journey. It feels like a forest that grows through many touches.
