My current choreographic practice is centred around the study of several threads of interest- the interfaces between embodied experience and human behaviour in relation to environment and architecture, and notions of presence, collectivity and individuality. Weaving these thematic interests into inter-disciplinary and collaborative practice, my work is often engaged with questioning the role of and relationship between the viewer and the performance, and finding ways to restructure the compositional relationship or hierarchies between various elements in a performance space. I tend to work with improvisation, and tasks based on ideas around physical response to a site, memory, image, texture, sensation, sound, layering the virtual/fantasy and the real. I aim to create a distinct world in my performances and play around with the sense of time and space through the content and structure of the work. Through my experiences as a performer/deviser for other artists and in my own research, I have begun to explore the potential in making work for unconventional spaces or subverting the traditional performance space. 

I am currently developing a project called Soliloquy for a Shore-line (working title) in collaboration with dramaturg Alicia Grace.

Soliloquy for a Shore-line is a durational, multi-screen dance, video and sound installation, with the image playing across and between screens.

Originally inspired by the female soliloquies and coastal themes present in the literary work of Virginia Woolf, the material weaves poetic connections between a sense of self, body and place, with specific connection to the landscape of Cornwall. In a series of moving soliloquy, a woman dialogues with herself and her environment allowing the audience to witness shifting states between interior and exterior worlds. Through textual imagery and mythic themes of immersion the work evokes how embodied memory informs our personal mythologies, which often go unwritten.

As a performer I have worked with artists including Angela Praed, Matthias Sperling and Andreya Ouamba, Henrietta Hale, Willi Dorner and this year performed Yvonne Rainers Trio A for the Move: Choreographing You exhibition at Londons Southbank Centre where I am currently an 'emerging artist in residence'.

My teaching experience encompasses contemporary (release) technique, and leading skills-based workshops in improvisation, choreography and Laban theories. I have worked with ages from infants to adults, from community to professional settings. I particularly enjoy teaching young adults (14+) and emerging professionals. I am currently an Associate Lecturer at Plymouth University and a Guest Lecturer at University College Falmouth.

I am the Dance Development Officer at The Works Dance and Theatre Cornwall where I enjoy supporting other professionals, the community and young people in their engagement with dance.
