Hey! I’m Ayanna, London-based movement director, workshop facilitator and bodywork specialist, working at the intersection of music, fashion, and well-being.

I have collaborated with world renowned artists and brands, shaping performances, workshops, and creative productions through movement.   

As Little Simz’s bodywork specialist on tour, I helped refine physicality and well-being for high-energy live performances. I also developed and led a movement workshop for the Little Simz x Tate Lates at Tate Modern and co-hosted an educational tour, speaking alongside Simz about the connection between movement, creativity and well-being.              

I was also on hand for bespoke bodywork at the acclaimed SAULT show live at London Drumsheds, supporting the artists behind the scenes.

In fashion, I have worked as a movement director for Bianca Saunders’ Paris Fashion Week show and collaborated with designer Ronan McKenzie for Design Week at the V&A. My expertise spans runway shows, still photography, film, and brand campaigns, helping artists and designers bring a refined, expressive physicality to their work.                 

With a career rooted in artistry and innovation, I continue to redefine movement direction, bridging music, fashion, and well-being to create impactful, immersive experiences.
