Staff Research Profiles

I am a practising artist with background in choreography and recent work with new technologies, video in particular and very recently robotics. In the past, I have been also a performer and a company director. In the last nine years, I have been exploring the application of choreographic techniques on media other than the dancing/human body. With an interest in the meaning and function of space and the idea that space can be performative, I have been focusing on the exploration of the dynamics of space (in both artistic contexts such as galleries and theatres and everyday spaces) to create 'choreographic environments', vibrant and articulate environments for the viewer/user, spaces which move, oscillate, vibrate, and speak to the viewers through perceptual routes, spaces which can be shared experientially with viewers.

The majority of this work manifests itself as video installations (single screen or multi-monitor) and has an element of site-specificity, either through the use of images and sounds from sites which inspire me to create my work, or through the connections I make between my work and the ways in which I present it.
