Codie Reece

I'm someone who has navigated significant challenges that often remain invisible to others.

Living with autism, ADHD and managing a spinal condition that ultimately required surgery has not only shaped the course of my life but also deepened my resilience, focus, and capacity for creative thinking. These experiences have informed my approach to performance and expression, allowing me to connect with movement and storytelling on a more nuanced level. I am particularly passionate about the arts as a medium for inclusivity and transformation, and I strive to channel my perspective into work that is both emotionally resonant and intellectually thoughtful. Outside of dance and performance, I enjoy strength training at the gym and following rugby (Leeds rhinos all the way) and boxing - sports that reflect both discipline and mental endurance, qualities I value in every area of life. Each obstacle has reinforced my belief that adversity can be a powerful force for innovation, empathy, and growth.
