Went off grid last week and tuned back into the nature/spirit/creativity portal 🌀 My stay @heart___farm felt very healing. Sessions with the herd, creating in the dome, waterfall walks, cat naps and fires at night. @samanthajaneross 1:1 retreats are something really special if you’re needing a reset or a little getaway. DM @heart___farm if you’d like to visit! 🕊️

For the Experimental Choreographic Practice Residency with @performancespace and @critical_path_ I developed a new choreographic work for artist @katybplummer upcoming work Even a Colossus. Using the premise that gestures and movements can act as a form of sigil spell work, performers @lucy_doherty @sezannesvoid @louie_rachael_rachael_louie and I developed sets of spells to locate violence living in the body, to metabolise it and finally to protect the self and imagine futures. These spells will act as a vocabulary for the performers to draw upon as the full choreographic work is developed for the hour long video opera Even a Colossus. A huge thanks to the teams at Performance Space and Critical Path for making this residency possible, for all of your belief in the project and on the ground support. This development wouldn’t have been possible without the care, energy and generosity of the performers Lucy Doherty, Suzanne Claridge and Louie Wisby. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you again and again and again to Katy B Plummer for bringing me into your world and creating such a colossus project to collaborate within. Photos by Liz Ham @lizhamdotcom

Creative chaos Mar-Apr25🌷 A mere glimmer of the mania of these months.

Creative dumping ground Dec24 - Mar25 💋

One performance, multiple viewpoints. One of the things we love about site-specific work is how it shifts depending on where you’re watching from. No two perspectives are the same & every angle reveals something new, making each audience member’s experience totally unique.
