Artistic Work

My artistic performances have included:

·       Rituals of Rest (2022): Developed during a period of long COVID, this practice involves daily rituals of stillness and rest within the landscape, using the healing power of rock and stone. This exploration of slowing down serves as a queering of time, embracing nature’s non-linear, cyclical rhythms as a radical act of somatic healing. The practice evolved into an installation that invites participants to engage in their own rituals of rest.

·       Plunge (2021): A ritualistic performance where I use a kitchen plunger as a divination tool to unblock energy within the landscape and the body. By plunging into rock, seaweed, and sky, I create shambolic rituals that awaken the interaction between the human body and the earth body, inviting a flow of energy that reconnects us to our intuitive, instinctual selves.

·      Seagrass (2021): This work explores gender queerness in the liminal space between land and sea. Through movement, I explore the queer potential of existing in these in-between spaces, where boundaries continuously shift and reshape.

·       Natural Drag (2021) : Using natural materials as costume and prop, this practice explores how these elements can shift and awaken new movement languages and expressions of gender and sexuality. It’s a messy, experimental blend of human and natural elements that evokes powerful, physical expressions of identity.

·   Underworld: A Site-Specific Ritual Performance Dance Film (2019): An autobiographical film set on the coastal site in Beer, Devon. The dancer’s journey into the implicit realm reflects the choreography of selective mutism, encountering landscapes of desolation, grief, and shame, and finding restoration in the waters, seas, and caves of the Devon coast.

·       Swan, Thames River Bed (2017): A movement improvisation for camera, where I embody the experience of being human among swans, exploring the process of "becoming swan."

·       Site-Specific Dance Film - Nunhead Cemetery, London (2015): A movement improvisation for camera, channeling the presence of the cemetery and resonating with the human and animal stories, memories, and traces within this space.
