Xan Dye

Xan Dye (they/them) is an independent artist whose practice emerged from a time in their life when they were learning about their neurodivergence and beginning to explore what a movement practice could offer in relation to this. Challenging fixed and rigid binaries, Xan explores how they embody neurodivergent and queer ways of being and thinking. Working from pleasure and permission, they create spaces for sensing and sensitive ways of being in our bodies and in relation to others. Xan's practice is particularly interested in what happens when we frame stimming as dancing and what we can learn from rhythmic, repetitive self regulatory movement patterns. 

Xan's work is supported by Arts Council England and platformed at venues including the Place and Independent Dance.
