I work in dance, theatre, film and contemporary visual arts contexts, as an artist, performer, choreographer, researcher, educator, facilitator and instigator of live events - I like to create situations where people realise they have things to offer, and moments of mutual surprise and recognition

I've been exploring ideas and practices of movement, connection and place, through live performance, screen media, writing & participatory events, since 1998

I live on the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall, UK

"I have an ongoing fascination with where dance can be - what happens to dance when it ventures outside of the spaces designed to contain it; and how movement can appear - in the landscape, built environment, domestic spaces, elsewhere...."

What to expect:  Serious play.  Dress for the weather.  Social action.  Adventures in screen space.  Lively thinking, quiet body (sometimes the other way round).  Somatic disco.  Sensation, discussion.  Dance as a means of discovery - of what, I'm not yet sure.  Increasingly, singing.
