Within my design practice I am drawn to creating immersive experiences inspired by movement, gesture, light and material exploration.
My recent projects explore embedding conceptual, haptic and embodied modes of design in to the development, collaboration and realisation of a performance piece.
My experience of performance contexts in other places has enabled this thinking to continue to evolve, particularly with time in Denmark as part of the 2020 MADE by the Opera House Scholarship Exchange design workshops and master classes, and most recently as a selected exhibiter at World Stage Design 2022 in Calgary, Canada, engaging with performers and designers exploring innovative modes of interpretation and staging.
The APDG Emerging Designer for Live Performance Award I received in 2022 was for a production that explored the notion of one continuous line of spatial threshold for a newly written text and I am appreciative of this support from the APDG as an emerging designer now transitioning to the professional realm.
I commenced my studies in design for performance at NIDA in 2016 and continued on to the masters program in 2019, completing my practice led research on tacit knowledge, and graduating in 2020 with a Masters of Fine Arts in Design for Performance.
