Frankie is the founder and co-director of GUTS Dance Central Australia, based in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. Born and raised in her desert home, her work as a dance artist spans performance, choreography, teaching, community-based projects, program creation and facilitation, and sector advocacy.

Frankie has worked extensively as a performer, choreographer, collaborator and producer throughout Australia and abroad for both big and small companies, but mainly on myriad independent projects and platforms that champion experimental and diverse artistic expression.
