Jayden Wall is a deeply considered, independent dancer and choreographer based in Naarm/Melbourne who is nationally recognised for his passion and versatility. Jayden is devoted to exploring movement of the body with current practices focused on improvisation within contemporary and house dance, while working with technique and understanding that technique gained can allow for further freedom in the chosen dance.

Jayden loves to move on the floor heavily inspired by break.

Jayden is curious and interested in making dance work that is refined and virtuosic, he has great intuition and a creative pulse that has been displayed across many forms of dance.

Jayden’s recent works and collaborations include: 10 Duets on a Theme of Rescue (Crystal Pite & Strut Dance), Drenched (Caetlyn Watson), 4/4 (Chunky Move), Yung Lung (understudy - Chunky Move), MPavilion X Chunky Move Residency, Plagiary development (Alisdair Macendoe), Goddess (Caetlyn Watson), Cosmos (DirtyFeet) and George Maple - live at the woolstore.
