I am a writer and performance-maker based in Yorkshire. I work at the University of Leeds in the School of Performance and Cultural Industries, where I am Associate Professor in Creative Practice. My practice spans theatre, film, live art, dance and installation.
I am interested in how art can create space for dialogue and critical inquiry. As such, my work often involves interactivity and conversation with the audience. My solo work uses autobiography as a means to explore social and political issues in a personal and intimate way. Writing is at the centre of my practice, even though most of my formal training is in movement and dance.
Recent work includes: The View From Above (feature film), Walking Towards Ithaca (Soho Theatre and Hull Truck Theatre), Dancing Through Storytime (York Explore), How to Look (Bathway Theatre), The Violent Justice in Our Hearts (Hull Truck Theatre and Resonance 104.4FM); The History of Water (Beverley Road Baths and East Hull Pools); A Roving Soul (Being Human Festival); and The Surfaces of Understanding (Ferens Art Gallery and Cardiff Metropolitan University).
