In September 2025, poet Katrina Naomi published a pamphlet of poems, dance as if (Verve Poetry Press), inspired by her recent collaboration with Kyra. A follow-up to Katrina's widely praised fourth full collection Battery Rocks (Seren, 2024).
"exuberant and celebratory" Tishani Doshi
"dance as if is a glorious rediscovery of body, a radical relearning of the skin and bones of us. The poetry is sinuous, alive and in constant movement." Joelle Taylor
In May & June 2025, the Deep Time Moving process films were screened at Tremenheere Gallery, as part of The Land Will Call You Home, curated by Sam Bassett.
For the exhibition closing event, Kyra reworked a section of Deep Time Moving live performance work as an installation for the gallery space, with dancers Winona Guy and Talia Sealey.
In March 2025, Kyra held a month-long residency at Auction House, Redruth. During her time there she explored some current concerns around access, consistency, productivity and rest, and some open questions about how money currently circulates, in the arts and in a local high street.
These themes were woven into practical research for ongoing work, Up, Across and Along, with collaborators Kath Buckler, Lois Taylor, Angus Balbernie, Kuldip Singh-Barmi and Winona Guy.
Kyra also used this space and time to hold a series of public, drop-in Open Practice sessions, inspired by and in dialogue with Wainsgate Dances; to co-host an ALL IN DISCO with artist Faye Dobinson; and to begin a research conversation with language artist Camilla Nelson, around their shared love of the work of anthropologist Tim Ingold, and in particular his book Lines: A Brief History.
Since 2024, Kyra collaborates with artist Faye Dobinson as ALL IN: a meeting place for their respective practices.
