I am a socially and ecological engaged performance artist, working individually, collaboratively and in community. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to emergent choreography through improvisation practices including dance, theatre, movement. My research practice happens online, solo indoors and outdoors in-place.

I dabble in devising solo performances (Buried Sunshine 2015, Cyclone 2022, Bird Cruising, 2023).

I teach creative improvisation and convene Deerness Dippers, a regular creative play and improvisation group.

I co-create creative participatory events such as Kuchu Cabaret.

Play Us A River – Deerness Devotions

From Tow Law to the Browney, the Deerness River flows, shifts, persists. It carves the landscape and carries the flora and fauna amongst which we play out our lives. Thorugh a programme of this creative improvisation workshops we expanded and deepened our relationship with our local river (a tributary of the Wear).
