From September 2011 until December 2011, alongside my MFA studies at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, I am working as a research assistant for Dr Henry Daniels in his 3-year funded project 'Barca - New Architectures of memory and identity'.

In July I was commissioned by Stoke-On-Trent City Council, Arts Council England and Fierce Earth, to create an inter-generational dance performance, on a group of professional and non-dancers. In one month, with the assistance of Luke Birch, we created a 30-minute site-specific performance, in the incredible post-industrial site of the Spode factory, Stoke Town. The link below is just a snippet of the rehearsal period, with an edited version of the performance to follow soon:
In March this year I was very pleased to be a part of 'Pioneers of the Downtown Scene', in which I performed for Trisha Brown, in her early works (1960's/70's), and Gordon Matta-Clark
