Dance for freedom
Nadenh began working part-time with Epic Arts in 2005 and went on to study with them on a two-year programme enabling him to learn more about contemporary dance, choreography, drama and visual arts. He received choreographic mentoring for his short works from Chisato Minamimura and Adam Benjamin. Graduating in 2011, Nadenh then became a full-time dancer, teacher and choreographer with Epic Arts. He came into contact with Stopgap as a result, as Epic commissioned Stopgap to create Sharrabang in 2011. Nadenh then joined Stopgap in June 2013 as a dancer in our emerging artist company Sg2.
With Sg2, Nadenh collaborated on Exhibition and The Awakening. He collaborated with Tim Casson from Casson&Friends, on a children’s theatre piece called Night at the Theatre. Nadenh graduated from Sg2 in 2016 and auditioned to be part of The Enormous Room.
Nadenh has since collaborated with Stopgap on The Enormous Room, Moon Language, The Road, Frock, Frippery, Crossing Borders, and most recently Lived Fiction.
In 2025, Nadenh makes his choreographic debut on Stopgap’s new outdoor work, Ro-Tes–រទេះ, commissioned by Without Walls.
