Felix is a creatively passionate individual who loves making and learning.

Born in Wellington, Felix studied at the New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD), graduating in 2015 with a Diploma in Dance Performance.

Upon graduating, Felix worked with Malia Johnston in her short work Semble which was performed at the Cubadupa Festival in Wellington (2016), and World of Wearable Art during their mini show at the Brancott Estate, choreographed by Victoria Colombus.
