About
Omari is a screendance practitioner and body-percussionist based in London (UK) and, for the past decade, has been choreographing, teaching and performing for music videos, film, television and theatre. A first class BA (Hons) degree in Performing Arts led Omari to perform for 6 years in the West End and international touring productions of 'Stomp!'.
Omari’s choreographic work is influenced by hip-hop dance, urban culture and body-percussion practices. This combines with his 6 years of professional filmmaking experience to result in the purposeful creation of narratives told through dance and the camera.
As a filmmaker and editor, Omari has created digital-dance and documentary content for Breakin' Convention Hip Hop Theatre Festival (UK), Parkinson's UK, Dance Woking, Akademi Dance (UK’s leading South-Asian Dance Company) and Mouvement Perpétuel (Canada). As an independent choreographer and dancer, Omari has created works for Google, Britain’s Got Talent, Weetabix, Stanton Warriors, Greenpeace UK, Diabetes UK and ADAD (Association of Dance from the African Diaspora).
As a soon to be graduate from the worlds first Master’s degree in Screendance at London Contemporary Dance School (LCDS), Omari is associate lecturer in Screendance at the University of Lincoln, University of East London and will soon be leading the Dance and Technology module for BA Dance at LCDS.
