🍒 🧜‍♀️🐞Co-creating ☀️Inner reaches of outer space 🌑 Dancing✨Performance art  🥁 Singing ⚡️ Choreographer 🍋 🌈 🖤

💫 Humanitarianenvironmentalist 🐆

I am working at the interconnection between soul, dance, music and performance art. My practice resides within a poetic theatre of consciousness and myth, especially through the voice (language and music) and the body, and all that resides within and without. Inner reaches of outer space.

I deal with our contemporary situation, asking questions about the challenges humanity faces, and creating fictive utopias so as to deal with the present and offer suggestions to our psychic conceptions about possible futures.

My work’s intentions are multi-sensorially intelligent and aesthetically witty experiences in the service of a global community in synthesis and reverence for all, the earth and the cosmos. Ceremony. Celebration.

Ultimately I am interested in patterns and (contemporary) shamanism, in community, connection and touch, in relationships and deep ecology.  Love and ecstasy.

I thrive on collaboration and on interdisciplinary work.

I create work: Wholly (2003), it (instead of twenty-one-words) (2006), Back to the roots with Jimy (2008), the Deborah Hay solo adaptation: I’ll crane foryou (2008),Two people coming together (2009), and soulsongdances (2013).
