Oluwaseun is a Nigerian-American dancer, choreographer, poet, and critic based in London. His work has been commissioned by Spread The Word and Studio 3 Arts. In 2021, he was a recipient of the Samuel Ross Black British and POC Artist Grant. He recently completed an MFA in Choreography from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music in Dance where he developed the hybrid choreo-poetic practice he utilizes in his live performance and written work. 

In 2018, he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the United Kingdom. As a choreographer, his work has been presented in the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, and the US. As a writer, his critical work and poetry have been published and anthologized in the United Kingdom and the US. He became a Ledbury Poetry Critic in 2021.

“It is incredible to be given time and space to develop my choreographic practice inside of the Swindon Dance Professional Programme. I’m excited to have a dedicated workspace where I can try new things, expand my choreographic sensibility and continue investigating the rich and powerful relationship between poetry and dance.”
