Newest Work:"Streamline", a live Performance Installation. Featuring and exploration into the live investigation of the current overwhelm of the news media. Exploring authenticity in our engagement as artists with media
" This is a happening, a happening about what’s happening around us. It is happening to us, to our art, to our minds and hearts. But what is happening?
Through the medium of newspapers, I facilitated an explorration into how and why artists create work which is political. We ask questions on authenticity, reality and how and why we are moved to create work which reflects around us. "

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.
I meditate in the bath.
An exploration with human connection and understanding at the centre. By using verbal language beyond literal meaning , each person uses their vocal expression to still strives to find connection with one another, but can not necessarily rely on the meaning of their words being understood.
