PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE &
INFLUENCERS
A lot of my work grows out of artists and practitioners who have shaped the way I understand performance. I’m drawn to work where the body, voice, rhythm, silence, image, and presence all have a place. Work that can hold identity, memory, ritual, transformation, and contradiction without reducing any of it.
I’m especially influenced by devised practice, psychophysical training, laboratory theatre, and artists who let meaning come through action as much as language. I’m interested in performance that feels alive, embodied, and full of humanity's core essence. Work that stays open, searching, and responsive.
This work started way before me
and
shall carry on after i'm gone.

I’m drawn to performance that feels alive in the body. Work that doesn’t just explain something, but lets you feel it, work where language, movement, rhythm, silence, image, and presence all have a place. I’m especially influenced by devised practice, psychophysical training, laboratory theatre, and artists who trust action enough to let meaning arrive through it.
What I admire most are artists who can be physical and thoughtful, political and personal, disciplined and open. People whose work makes space for contradiction, humanity, and change.
A lot of my influences sit around identity, transformation, ritual, direct address, storytelling, embodiment, and the relationship between performer and audience. Some of them give me language for the work. Some of them give me structure. Some of them remind me to stay brave. Some of them showed me that this kind of practice was possible.
What I make is my own, but it comes out of a wider conversation. That matters to me. which is why I think it’s important to name the people, practices, and traditions that helped shape the road I’m walking.
This page is my way of acknowledging that I’m still learning, still listening, and still being shaped by the work that came before me. If anything, these influences remind me that performance is bigger than one person. We inherit things, we respond to them, we add our voice, and then we pass something forward.
