Worked on
MyWorld - Strength in Places
Watershed is excited to be a partner in MyWorld, a project led by the University of Bristol that will celebrate the West of England's reputation as an international trailblazer in creative technology and screen-based media.In my practice I explore the often uncharted territory of dance and visual impairment and the aesthetics of choreography from a non-visual perspective, de-centering the visual in the creation of dance.
I am currently developing Half Light, a dance work using spoken word, poetic audio description and sensory choreography, drawing on my lived experience of visual impairment to inform the development of the work. It explores sensory perception and our relationship to the natural world during twilight, dusk and absolute night.
