Dramaturgy
In conversation with my performance practice, I also work as a dramaturg and outside eye for a number of artists including:
This varies from one off sessions stepping into a process to give a fresh perspective, or longer collaborations following a project from initial idea to presentation or developing and supporting an artists trajectory over a number of years.
Writing
My recent performance work can be largely characterised as non-verbal and highly visual, however writing has always been a large part of my artistic practice. My writing manifests as the hidden foundations underneath a performance project (research, footnotes, scores, responses etc) or as artworks in their own right such as publications, articles and most recently, fiction.
Publications
Education
I work in a number of educational contexts in order to share my artistic process and have been a guest lecturer at a number of UK universities including Bristol University, Warwick University, Falmouth University, Roehampton University. I am currently an Artistic Fellow at Aberystwyth University.
I facilitate a range of workshops related to my practice and to specific projects and deliver talks, lectures and keynote speeches for students, artists, industry and public audiences on a range of topics including:
Access and Disability politics in performance
Making one to one performance
Autobiography in performance
Running Artist led spaces
Participatory performance
Dramaturgy
Residence
A sustaining and essential part of my artistic practice is my long-term membership of Residence, an artist collective I helped found in Bristol in 2007. Residence is a collective of friends and performance makers who share space, resources, knowledge and opportunities and offer companionship to each others practices.
