Aerial Performance
I no longer perform aerial, but I'm keeping this page here as an excuse to show off about what I used to do! It was a pleasure working at such a range of events.
​
Touring internationally with Ockham's Razor in 3 of their shows, was an absolute incredible experience and in many ways inspired me to start Oddly Moving. I'm grateful for this experience and their ongoing support and friendship.
​
I am still really interested in working with devised work that includes aerial and text, which has led to a lot of research into 'Lady Macbeth' supported by the Arts Council through a DYCP grant. It is an intersectional feminist retelling of Macbeth interweaving aerial circus with Shakespeare's text. I have worked on the dramaturgy of the show with input from Michael Corbidge, Christine Schmidle, Laurence Boswell and Simon Trinder. I am seeking support and funding to realise this idea (as a director).
