Esme is a freelance artist based in Leeds. She is a dancer, choreographer, drag artist and model. She graduated with a First Class BA(Hons) in Contemporary Dance from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

Esme has worked on several choreographic commissions in collaboration with Bradley Creswick MBE and his live orchestra in the North East. These pieces were rehearsed by DV8’s Vivien Wood. She then performed in and wrote the script for several drag performances as part of ‘JingleBelles and Mistle-Hoes’, directed by Joseph Mercier and Imogen Reeves with the Glitterbomb Dancers ensemble.

Esme has engaged in several projects in their initial research and development phase, including those by artists Devika Rao and Balbir Singh (Balbir Singh Dance Company), Jamaal Burkmar (Extended Play) and Pablo Reyero. These processes have provoked Esme to share in culture, explore the possibilities of identity and establish her own sense of self as a woman stepping into the creative industry.

In 2024, Esme embarked on the first period of research and development for her latest choreographic work, supported by the Middle Floor, Leeds. She was also selected for Young Choreographers 2024/25 with Pavilion Dance South West, in which she is exploring various choreographic practices and techniques with artists Theo Clinkard and Vidya Patel between November 2024 and February 2025.
