Mayowa is a British-Nigerian contemporary dance artist based in Leeds. Her name means ‘brings joy’ and she aims to encourage that sentiment throughout her practice.

In 2017, she graduated from Trinity Laban with a first-class honours degree and an award for ‘outstanding achievement in ‘Choreological Studies’. After graduating, she joined Phoenix Dance Theatre as an apprentice dancer and has since worked as a performer for a variety of choreographers. Currently, she is working on new productions with Gary Clarke Company and Léa Tirabasso. 

Alongside performing, Mayowa delivers creative and technique classes across the UK, using the practice as an opportunity for sharing a wide-ranging movement vocabulary, experimenting, collaborating with artists and facilitating cultural exchange.
