Creative work
My creative work is interdisciplinary. A collage of practices incorporating art and the scientific through phenomenological investigation. Recently, the Residuals and Colourfields series.
Dance
I dance contact improvisation – a contemporary dance – which I also teach and produce. I founded Oxford Contact Dance with Ana Barbour in 2014, and since 2015 I have been teaching there too.
Initially, my love was Argentine Tango which I started in 2007. Sometimes, I combine tango and contact improvisation: contact tango!

I’ve been director, performer and/or performer for the following productions with Oxford Contact Dance and others:
- Co-production with artist Georgica Pettus, 2022 with AI generated captions
