I have been staging performances since 2009, either as a one-woman show or in collaboration with other artists. The shows have combined interactive theatre, performance art, movement, monologue, multimedia, and inversions of traditional life drawing.
My themes have evolved from the imaginings of a working life model, through an autobiographical tale of mother and daughter, to become an entire expression of womanhood. I explore stories of ancestors, real and imagined, as well as my own past.
