Marie Siobhan Williamson

I am an aerial dancer, dancer screendance maker, accessible dance facilitator activist, and community project facilitator.
Activism, satire, nature, human connection, and storytelling are what inspire me to create.

Since 2014 I have performed, choreographed and facilitated projects with vertical dance and other aerial skills. I like to create with the collective as well as an individual. One of the areas I've focused on is encouraging an accessible aerial scene in Scotland with projects like Createability.

I am particularly interested in multi art form and cross disciplinary work, especially using nature & politics within Screendance. In 2024 I completed an MA in Screendance from London Contemporary Dance School.

Fanny Riot is a grassroots, community run collaborative which brings political, environmental & social issues to life through satirical performance, and invite the audience to engage. One of our projects is FLAPS (Fannies Listening with Advice & Peer Support) and provides sexual welfare at music festivals and clubs around Scotland.

I use my voice from being from a working class background and neurodivergence to navigate an arts system made for privilege and want to support others into it.

Some of the companies/organisations I have worked for : All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre, Rowan Environmental Arts, Scottish Dance Theatre (education), Beacon Arts Centre, WHALE Arts, North Edinburgh Arts, National Theatre Scotland, Community Circus Paisley.
