The Team
Marcus Bell (they/he):
Marcus is a dancer, dyslexic, Virgo sun / Leo rising / Taurus moon. They love writing about dance, contemporary live art and film. Their PhD project, Choreographing Tragedy at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century, allows them to do just that. Joining up critical classical receptions, queer studies, and choreographic practice, Marcus is pulling tarot cards from their kitchen in Oxford, UK.
