She came to the USA over a decade ago to attend the BFA dance program at Fordham University’s Ailey School and become a professional dancer.Burgess once told Overdue Magazine that things didn’t go as per her plan, as she learned after the second term of her junior year that she needed knee surgery.“After nearly a year and a half of not dancing, I was finally able to return to the studio and complete my degree, but physically I was still recovering and unable to audition for the companies I wanted. Never thinking it would amount to much, that’s when I started modelling. As an interim occupation until I was able to reach a full recovery. To my surprise, modelling offered me a new and unexpected stage to continue dancing,” Olivia explained.So far, her work behind the camera has been exhibited across London at Hypha Studios, Ars Electronica, and the University of the Arts.

These days, I’m taking more care in cultivating my artistic voice both through photo and video. I would say that dance and movement are integral to how I express myself... I think that years of being center stage or in front of the camera have inspired me to be my own creator.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostOlivia Burgess moved to London to pursue a master’s degree in interaction design at UAL’s College of Communications.
