Royal Horse
Sydney Performance Contemporary, Carriageworks
September 2015
In this allegorical inhabitation of site, the figure of the horse is used as a construct for exploring the relationship between human frailty and the mythic dimensions of experience. My working processes are bottom-up, generating actions and meanings from interactions with props and costume.

Their open and interactive style works a charm in the summer festival atmosphere, where party-goers are willing to get involved and have fun.” (Article by Jacqueline Breen, The Brag 2009) |

WORKSHOPS
Let's Get Animal Workshop
Discover your inner animals. Move out of human verticality into four limbed prowling, hypnotic snake coiling or frisky bunny hopping. Let animal impulses colour your erotic expression. What is waiting to be let out of the internal zoo? Drawing on experiential anatomy and energetic healing practices, this workshop will explore pathways into the playful realm of trans-species embodiment.

Pigeon Body Workshop
An exploration of pigeon anatomy, visual perception and movement using experiential anatomy and embodied imagination approaches. It maps between human and pigeon anatomy (skeleton and organs), morphing from the human body to a pigeon embodiment.
