🔎 As a mixed race woman in the contemporary dance world Ghaliah Conroy is highly inspired by social and political issues and feels it important to make work representing different people. During her short Makerstrajectory she will research and go through various stages of strength, vulnerability, sensuality and frustration, using movement and voice (hair, voice and krump) to deconstruct and reclaim parts of her body and heal.
