How much did Bristol shape your understanding of dance and music?
At 18, I moved to Bristol, and immediately, I could gauge why great music continues to emerge from here (Massive Attack, Portishead). It’s a creative, left-thinking place. The city is, somewhat isolated from other scenes in the UK, so music and culture has been able to develop uniquely. This was evident with the B-Boying scene. It was proud of its identity and its diverse influences. Bristol also has a strong film and graphic industry, and mixing among artists from these fields inevitably led me to think of art in a multi-disciplinary way. This offered me the networks, confidence and skills to create White Caps that draws from and has incorporated diverse artistic elements.
