Research Interests and Projects
My research and practice interests are working with young children and their families, creating site specific performance and improvisational practices. I have made choreographic performance work with young children and their families in the Midlands, exploring their familial relationships and aspirations for one another.
Since 2018, I have been utilising my research time to practically explore the relationship between movement, the natural environment and sculpture, at The New Art Centre. I have been working with fellow AUB Dance lecturer Sophie Douglas and Performance Design Lecturer Adele Keeley, in this research. I have been hosting improvisation jam events for AUB staff and post graduate students, and members of the public to experiment and explore moving and drawing (lots of my blog posts are exploring the impact of these jam sessions).
