Masterclass 4: In practice ...

I will introduce my work as a performance artist with a Fine Art background. I will explore six thematic strands in my work, providing visual examples that have inspired me to create inter-disciplinary pieces involving text, voice, dance, performance and video. The themes include reading and writing practices, working with oneself, obsessions and possessions, self care in performance and personal work as political. Rather than a theoretical exploration of these topics, the master class will provide visual stimulus and practical methodologies for participants to create their own work with awareness of a variety of contexts.
