Artist Statement

My artistic research and practice focusses on uncovering the basic process of embodied perception and on transmitting this through performance, movement, text and pedagogy.

I seek to shift into ecological knowing, where the knower may experience themselves directly in relationship to a complex and subtle web of more-than-human presences.

I see part of my task as an artist as drawing attention to the animate nature of what Choreographer Mary Overlie calls “primordial materials” - the fundamental yet invisible materials underlying live performance - time, space, movement, sound and embodiment. I see these elements as possessing an independent intelligence; a dialogue with them is possible, but they have a will of their own.

An enquiry into these materials, rooted in a somatic and choreological tradition, underlies my practices of making, performing and teaching.
