About me
My work combines creative design, innovation and technology within the performing arts and live events. I aim to use my interdisciplinary skills to build a career in theatre and live events fusing art and technology.
Projects

One of the aims is to challenge stereotypes around hearing loss. Through this experience, I hope to provoke thinking about deafness and generate an increased awareness of how deafness has an impact in day to day life
  • Second Space
    Second SpaceSecond Space is a contemporary dance piece which utilises social media and an interactive installation exhibit using interactive technologies.

This project is still currently in development with a performance in January.
  • Dot Line

  • Real Time Interactive Technology with Dance using Microsoft Kinect
    Real Time Interactive Technology with Dance using Microsoft KinectThis project studied and developed the use of interactive technology in dance with Rachel Johnson who was studying for the MA in Choreography at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Three visualisations were developed in openFrameworks using Microsoft Kinect to provide real time interactivity using Open Kinect and OpenNI drivers. A set of visualisation parameters were identified that could be adjusted by a choreographer using a graphical user interface to provide artistic control of
