Tia-Monique Uzor is a dance scholar and artist who writes and publishes around issues of identity, cultural traffic, popular culture, and women within African and African Diasporic dance.
She is a lecturer at the Royal School of Speech and Drama, teaching across theatre, performance and movement courses. At the heart of her work lies an investment in Black survival and identities. Her current practice is interested in exploring the intersections of ecological and social injustice experienced across Black geographies through digital performance.
In 2022, she produced, directed and choreographed the short dance film, The Noise My Leaves Make which explores Black British women’s intimacy and pleasure in the English countryside. The film was an award finalist at Dance Camera West 2023 in Los Angeles and won the jury award for Best Experimental Short at the Cannes Short Film Festival 2023.
