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. Sasha has worked with artists like Sean Paul, Kylie Minogue, and Boy George, and produced shows for leading car brands. 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’m an artist and creative producer with a wealth of experience of founding arts ventures and running arts venues, programmes, events, exhibitions and festivals – with a focus on fun and innovative approaches to animating underused spaces. Most recently I’ve had the privilege of setting up Saint John’s Arts’ Programme, collaborating with a large Education Trust to provide new exciting opportunities for young people to get involved in the arts in Gosport. I’ve also worked as Producer for Journeys Festival International, and held previous roles at ArtSpace Portsmouth, Liverpool Biennial and founded The Royal Standard (gallery, studios and social workspace), and Mighty Oak Creative Agency.

I am a children’s playwright, poet and community creative writing facilitator. With fifteen years experience working in the sector, I have had multiple plays for primary school age children to perform published and have had works for children and families commissioned from theatres and arts organisations. My playwrighting focus is on inclusive history that is curriculum-adjacent or locally relevant and I’m particularly passionate about amplifying the stories of marginalised women and girls from the past. I work with schools and in the community delivering a range of bespoke workshops to young people, families and to those living with dementia and their carers.
