IMPACT SUMMARY

I enjoy communicating my research to a range of audiences.

 

I have written exhibition catalogue essays (on the work of choreographers Michael Clark and Christopher Matthews), and have collaborated with dance artists Christopher Matthews and J. Neve Harrington, including as a co-worker/performer in Harrington's durational work, Satelliser: a dance for the gallery at the Turner Contemporary, Margate, and the Arnolfini, Bristol.

 

I have a background in dance archiving, arts publishing, and exhibition consultancy, having worked as archivist for Michael Clark Company and at Laban, as an editorial researcher for Violette Editions and providing research support for the exhibition Michael Clark: Cosmic Dancer  (Barbican and V&A Dundee, 2020-2022).

 

I have also taken up speaking engagements at public institutions including the Barbican, Sadler’s Wells, The Place, the British Academy, and am invited to give the festival talk for Corpus Festival (2026) at the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), Troy, New York.
