She / they

MaggZ is a Naarm-based (Melbourne, Australia) movement and multimedia artist, specialised in waacking - a freestyle dance originated in 1970s LA from the latinx and African American queer community, predominantly involving arm movements. Traversing amongst street dance battles, live performances, installations, creative direction and producing, MaggZ’s practice centres aliveness, stillness, persistence and agency and aspires to honour the authentic self and living experience through transdisciplinary explorations. MaggZ’s recent achievements are - the recipient of the Young Creative Awards in 2020, nominated four times by the Green Room Awards, and the winner of Destructive Steps allstyle 2v2 dance battle in 2022.
