MaggZ

Working across all art forms is what makes movement artist MaggZ alive. Born in Kunming, China, and classically trained in ballet for seven years as a child, she’s now a multidisciplinary artist specializing in waacking — a freestyle dance originating from the 1970s Los Angeles Latinx and Afro-American communities. Based in Melbourne, MaggZ explores everything from street dance battles and live performances to installations, production and creative direction. We chat with the artist about their favorite spots to dance and experiment vegan and vegetarian cuisine in her Melbourne Travel Playbook.
