Tumelo Khupe (alias Melo) is a performing artist, krumper, and emerging choreographer currently based in the Twin Cities and from Botswana. Her artistry investigates and explores how the body manifests lived experiences through movement. Krump is foundational in her work as it offers endless possibilities for storytelling through its technique and language. She makes use of some elements of theater to reveal these moments through freestyle or improvisation. The four pillars of her artistry are rawness, discovery, individuality, and spirituality. She graduated with a BA in Music Theater with a minor in Dance. She was a Naked Stages Fellow (2022), Generating Room Fellow (2023), Next Step Fund grantee (2023), and most recently, a Mcknight Dancer Fellow (2024), and has performed with Emmy award-winning company, Hip Hop Nutcracker.
