Profile Information
- What I do:
- I am a director, choreographer and performer working in dance, film, theatre, opera, live art.
- A little more about me:
- I have been performing for 25 years with companies such as DV8 Physical Theatre, Rosas (Belgium) and Rambert Dance Company. Recent performance work includes Wendy Houstoun’s Stupid Women and Deborah Light’s HIDE and Quarantine's Wallflower.
I collaborated with John McGrath as Movement Director on NTW's Mother Courage. And later on NTW and Quarantine’s co-production called English.
I create and tour my own work
I’m currently touring Neither Here Nor There created with artist Sonia Hughes.
An Invitation… began at the Edinburgh Festival 2014. The work toured and was selected for the British Council Showcase 2015 and British Dance Edition 2016 and headed to Dresden for Szene Wales.
Trailer

As an independent artist I present work that is thought-provoking and centred around people, dancers or players who translate, reveal or perform. The work is grounded in the idea of honesty in performance and looks under the skin: the psychological drives, motivations or inherent characteristics of an individual or group, creating a shared and considered relationship with an audience. The body is my first language, though text and voice work are regularly a part of the whole. I combine physical technical knowledge, agility and experience with a raw, rebellious and curious spirit. I endeavour to understand further and explore the scope for movement to communicate and to cultivate work that is generous, engaging and embodies an alternative beauty.

Ways of Being Together
A choreography for many people
http://dance.wales/events/ways-of-being-together
The Cardiff Dance Festival event at Chapter was performed by 46 people who like to move. We are thinking about how this work might exist again and might travel. We will be recreating Way of Being Together for CAN Festival in London in Feb 2020.
