Site responsive live art in gallery and museum spaces, embodied performance action in response to museum artefacts, interpretation and translation of objects into performance action, performance alongside and for historic human specimens, emotive traditional song forms as ephemeral artefact.

Collaborative performance in medical environments, mentoring hospice patients to make personally motivated performance action which is focused in the present, the performance of institutional behaviours, performance as ways of taking space in a medical environment.
