collaborations

  • (in development, 14 & 15 June 2024, Bologna)

    Public action and workshop exploring consent, safety and securitisation, co-developed and co-facilitated with transfeminist Bologna-based research collective Nodi-Piani.

  • (in development, 2024)

    I am currently collaborating with cultural sociologist Dr Jana Melkumova-Reynolds on a peer-reviewed research article that examines Contact Improvisation (CI) through a crip/queer and affect theory lens.

  • Pfeiffertag. Musarc Folk Meet on a Midsummer Day until Dusk IV (2023)

    Participation in the co-creation of a collective libretto, performed with experimental music choir Musarc. The creative process involved submitting, and responding to, textual material that was then used as a prompt for a final poem in the form of a call-and-response.

  • The Sound of Contact (2022)

    A sound art project developed in collaboration with independent curator Agata Kik, teacher and choreographer Rick Nodine and Resonance Extra, exploring the aural dimensions of the dance form of Contact Improvisation (CI). The project was realised with the participation of guest sound artists and members of the London Contact Improvisation community.

  • Defending Otherwise: Reclaiming the PhD Viva (2022)

    A pedagogical zine aimed at doctoral students, supervisors and thesis’ examiners that seeks to interrogate and to counter self-branding and survival discourses within HE advisory literature. Co-created with Dr Liz Stainforth.

  • If One Keeps Walking (2018)

    Participation in the R&D phase of a community dance project led by Israeli choreographer Hagit Yakira, held at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, London.
