About
I'm an intermedia artist, director and practice-researcher, working across physical theatre, film, sound and site-specific performance.
My ScreenStage practice brings live performance into relation with screening and installation, exploring how different media shape what we see, what remains unseen yet active, and how we make meaning from what we perceive and experience.
I'm interested in the structures beneath the apparent stories. My works layer visual, aural and kinetic components, engaging kinaesthetic perception, guided by internal storytelling and the subtext that emerges through relations between media. Through shifts of perspective, uncertainty and composed deception, I construct situations that challenge habitual ways of perceiving and interpreting. I'm particularly interested in what happens when established relations between performers, spectators, live action and mediated images become unstable.
My work is concerned with how our encounters with mediated environments affect our perception, imagination and sense of reality, and how uncertain the distinctions between real and unreal, logical and illogical, may actually be.
Alongside creating performances, I develop participatory projects and practice-research laboratories with artists, students, researchers and communities. These encounters are an important part of my practice, opening up different ways of experiencing, questioning and making meaning together.
My artistic research draws on an extensive background in physical theatre, movement research, teaching and international collaboration.
I completed my practice-based PhD, ScreenStage Performance: Hybridity, Perception and Enstrangement, at Middlesex University London in 2023.
I currently teach at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, Poland, and continue to develop independent artistic work and research collaborations in London and internationally. Previously, I was Head and Artistic Director of the School of Dance at Kibbutzim College, Tel Aviv.
