Brilliant to facilitate a dance workshop on @RecklessSleeper’s #astringsection at Future Flares Festival this morning! What does it make when we put bodies, chairs and score together? MST Performance MST Drama & Contemporary Performance Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf


Great to present alongside Lisa Kendall this morning and enable valuable knowledge exchange between MST Performance students at Manchester Metropolitan Uni and MA Choreography students at Leeds Beckett Thinking about articulating contemporary performance practices Performance Research Group LARC


Beautiful work from MST Performance contemporary performance students over the last couple of weeks as they prepare for their articulations of practice in w/c 4th March. Details coming soon! Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf MST Drama & Contemporary Performance



A very interesting morning of presentations from our Contemporary Performance students who have been asking lots of important questions about their practice - more tomorrow! Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf MST Drama & Contemporary Performance

This week, I’m working with Mole from @RecklessSleeper & a group of children for the first week of a two-week residency at Pavilion Dance South West researching possibilities for our new project #binaryopposition Day one - success!

Yesterday, a group of beautiful movers from MST Performance and MST Drama & Contemporary Performance started working with me on a new piece of research, which explores the connections between dancing and reflecting. Can’t wait to make more discoveries next week #danceresearch Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf



We have a long-standing relationship with Alton Towers Resort and over the years we have documented a variety of important events, as well as a range of filming and promotional projects. We have also captured the newly revitalised 'Nemesis Reborn' ride being constructed.


Another great dance workshop with @performance_mst & @mst_dcp students yesterday. Through embodied practice, mark making, writing & discussion, we investigated circles, loops, releasing, movement form & impulse #danceresearch #reflexivedialogical Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf


Such an interesting presentation from ClinicalEducatorPoet at the #LeedConference2024 exploring the use of poetry as a form of practice-based creative reflection for nursing students. A great example of a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to learning 👏Manchester Metropolitan Uni

A brilliant workshop today with Joshua Alabi of Kininso Koncepts Production as part of the Major Project unit on the MA Performance. Great to have Joshua’s expertise in storytelling and theatre as the students go into making their final projects Performance Research Group @McrSchArtPerf Z-arts
