About

Callum's research has been published in the International Journal of Screendance, and his chapter ‘Dancing in the Street: Pride, Parades and Protest’ was published in Encountering Environments Through The Arts: Interdisciplinary Embodiments, Politics, and Imaginaries (Hunter and Chubb, eds., 2025). 

His research interests include screendance and mediated performance, representations of queer masculinities in dance and on film, site-dance, choreopolitics and choreographies of protest. He holds a BA (Hons) in Dance and an MA in Dance Performance from the University of Chichester, receiving the Valarie Briginshaw Prize for Dance Writing and Academic Excellence for his MA dissertation. He is currently studying for his PhD at Bath Spa University, supervised by Professor Vicky Hunter and Dr Kerrie Reading.

Since 2023, he has been a writer for rrramble (currently on hiatus), a review platform for creatives of all kinds, designed to diversify the creative and critical voices we find in the Arts & Culture sector.

Working across live and digital performance, Callum has made work for large scale screens, portable devices and installations, as well as dancing and choreographing in more traditional dance settings. 

His film fragments (2021) is held for long term preservation by Screen Archive South East (University of Brighton) as part of their 'Our Screen Heritage' project.

As a director/choreographer, Callum is interested in dance as a way of recording human experiences, and how it might be possible to translate these experiences through digital recording.

Alongside his dance work, Callum is an arts marketing and communications professional. He currently works for Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, an arts charity made up of three historic venues, a music education service and the biggest curated cross-arts festival in England. He also offers freelance support to ResDance, a podcast dedicated to research methods and methodologies in dance practice, and Flexer & Sandiland, a dance and digital company.

Callum has taught dance technique, choreography and academic classes for, among others, the Sussex Dance Network, the Newman Academy and the Oxfordshire Creative Academy. He has also examined student work at Performers College Brighton, and has given guest lectures at the University of Chichester.
