Hazel Maddocks

Hazel is a combined arts practitioner exploring the fusion of dance, aerial circus and physical theatre. Her practice has evolved through a diverse background including  training at the Arts Educational School, London Contemporary Dance School,  Circus Maniacs and overseas study in Thailand and Cuba. From this knowledge she produces work which constantly redefines itself and is provocative in nature, whilst exploring human and social themes with humour and sensitivity. Hazel established Zu Aerial Dance in 2004 and her work has been supported by Arts Council England, Grass Roots and Made in Brighton.

Outside of Zu she continues to work as a freelance performer, choreographer and workshop leader.
