About my work

I have explored a broad range of ideas through extensive research involving visual and performance practice (live art and experimental theatre), and video projects. Key areas of interest remain body and ‘place’, the experience of theatricality inrelation to physical vulnerability, becoming, Tarantism and its performative aspects.
