Omar is from good old Manchester, and has been at NSCD for four years, completing the foundation course before enrolling on the BA (Hons). Being at Northern has allowed him to work with some great choreographers such as Amaury Lebrun, Matthew Slater, Phil Sanger and Fernanda Prata. During lockdown, he has worked with Eleanor Sikorski over Zoom, where together they explored this new wave of producing work virtually. One of Omar’s most memorable experiences was working alongside Phoenix Dance Theatre on their Black Waters photoshoot. He loves gaming, especially Football Manager and NBA 2K. He could spend hours playing them without realising the time; before you know it, it’s 1am and he’s thinking “I’d better go to bed soon because I have class at 9!”
