My choreographic voice and practise is rooted in the desire for true and genuine connection. I am a multidisciplinary choreographer who uses music, dance, and physical theatre as a way to create work that celebrates human connection snd undertsanding which often transcends language. My process is rooted in play, games and improvisation, as well as creating an open end experimental environment for my performers who are celebrated as collaborators in the work.

This above choreography evolved from my fascination with language and meaning. I wanted to question how movement can disregard, emphasise or change meaning. I worked with music and musical notes, created alongside my dancers and musicians. My cast and I created a language which existed only to them and only within the performance. We questioned art and those who cteate it. We asked the question of who art is created for; the artist of the viewer or the performers, and how can art change its meaning when who it is created for rejects it or claims it? I worked with a violinist which was an illumination in how I wanted to incorporate and collaborate with all facets of music and physicality to create live performance. This piece was performed at the Bonnie Bird theatre.
La Langue du Flore.
This piece was one of my first choreographic works. I explored the idea of body language. I conducted a personal interview with my dancer, using it as a way to study their natural everyday body language. I used this ans sinpiration for choreographed movement I created the score with her voice and words, both in English and French and oftentimes supporting or directly rejecting the movement. This process showed me that as a choreographer I have to have the performers at he centre of the process. I cannot create without their insights and understandings, they are as much a part of the creation as I am.

The work I am currently developing is a piece of work which takes human connection and understanding at the fore front. I use verbal language but in a way that is completely useless in terms of its meaning, each person speaks a different language but still strives to find connection with one another. Their personalities and desires become mixed with one another. I was inspired by the power of music in how it can connect us all. I use "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young, without the lyrics as a hook between all the characters. This piece will be perofrmed on Bonnie Bird Theatre on the 20th of January 2025.
