Xan Dye

Xan Dye 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 trans non-binary, neurodivergent, queer ways of being and thinking, working with others to create radical spaces for sensing and sensitive ways of being in our bodies and in community. 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 is an experienced facilitator with expertise in inclusive practice, working for organisations including Candoco Dance Company, Access all Areas and Entelechy Arts. Xan’s work is supported by Arts Council England and platformed at venues including the Place and Independent Dance.
