Olivia Millen
Olivia first discovered contemporary dance when studying A-level Dance and soon after joined the company class at BUDC in September 2019. Having grown up immersed in musical theatre, this lifelong love of performing continued specifically into contemporary dance, which introduced her to a whole new world of curiosity, creativity, and freedom.
Olivia’s passion for contemporary dance has led her through extensive professional training and into a practice centred around connection and community. In 2025, she graduated with a Distinction in her MA from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, having previously completed both her CertHE and BA (Hons) at the same institution.
Throughout her training, Olivia had the opportunity to work with a range of renowned artists and choreographers, including Gary Clarke, Antonio Bukhar, and Erion Kruja for a restaging of Hofesh Shechter’s Grand Finale. She also completed a placement year with Stopgap Dance Company, where she contributed to the creative processes of works including Ro-tes and Reflections, choreographed by Nadenh Poan.
Alongside her performance and creative practice, Olivia has a strong passion for dance education and inclusive teaching. While studying at NSCD, she supported youth contemporary classes working alongside Donald Edwards and continued to build her experience when she joined Stopgap Dance Company. During her placement with Stopgap, Olivia taught company classes, supported a range of weekly community sessions for groups of dancers with learning disabilities and completed an intensive in Stopgap’s inclusive IRIS syllabus . These experiences have all shaped her approach to teaching dance and strengthened her commitment to creating welcoming, inclusive environments where every individual can thrive.
Olivia’s own creative practice is rooted in the importance of connection, exploring how movement can help us feel confident, joyful and at home in our bodies. She strives to create supportive spaces where dancers are encouraged to explore their individuality whilst developing strength, technique and artistry. We are SO excited to have Olivia back in the BUDC family teaching for us. What a full circle moment!
