Alia

I am a professional visual artist and creative producer, celebrated for vibrant, layered explorations of colour. Guided by synaesthetic perception, my meticulously crafted abstract works transform sound and emotion into striking abstractions that captivate with both energy and depth. I collaborate with musicians and sound designers closely and have exhibited internationally, with work represented by Saatchi. I have over 20 years of working in the Rushmoor community as a creative producer, founded the music charity Forward 4 Wiz Trust in 2007 and currently work at Aldershot’s West End Centre as the Community Programmes Manager.

Sasha Biloshisky is a UK-based choreographer, artistic producer, movement artist, and entrepreneur. Inspired by Hip-Hop culture and Breaking, he expanded into Street Dance, Parkour, and theatre.

His credits include the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony and the West End’s Daddy Cool. Founder of ArtGility, and Funk Format, he creates platforms for youth empowerment through dance and arts. He created Rawkus City – Portsmouth’s first Hip-Hop Arts Festival. Sasha lectures on dance education (New Bucks University, PGCE, University of Chichester) and consults for ISTD, championing authentic expression and creative potential.

I am a writer and a visual artist. I am passionate about intersectional inclusion and my practice supports people to express their identities and experiences through creative writing and visual art. I believe that story-telling through words and images is a powerful tool for building and strengthening communities. My skills include workshop facilitation, and event and project planning and management. I focus on creating inclusive communities, whether for a one off workshop or a long term plan. If you want to ignite imaginations and inspire empathy, I am ready to work with you. I am also a post graduate researcher in Creative Writing at the University of Portsmouth.
