MY RESEARCH actively seeks out progressive and fluid transdisciplinary research practices across institutions and scholarly disciplines/ past posts include a Visiting Fellow for the Humanities Research Centre at the Australian National University in response to their research theme of ‘Ecological Enlightenment’ (2012) and Centre Fellow for the Centre for Sustainable Futures, University of Plymouth (2007-08), designing inter-departmental sustainability initiatives within curriculum, campus and local community. Further artistic research has received support from international bodies such as the Arts and Humanities Research Council UK, Creative Ireland, and London Arts Board.

MY RESEARCH PRACTICE is grounded in ecological thinking around transdisciplinary approaches to body-place relationships, and I regard choreographic practice per se as a social tool, informed by studies in posthumanism, geopolitics and art activism. My research was initially framed through an AHRC awarded practice-based PhD (2010), locating Butoh and Body Weather training praxis in relation to inter-sense relationships in site-based choreographic composition.  

As an ECO-SOMATIC dance artist and environmental educator, whose work intersects with land-based studies, environmental philosophy and climate activism, my work is always evolved through the use of creative embodied facilitation, as a means to create stimulating starting points for translocal conversation around contested landscapes. In the past, this has led to entangled debates around resource management, but has also unearthed unacknowledged and/or difficult relationships between people, animal, plant and place.
