As a multidisciplinary performing artist, I have woven together years of creative exploration across movement, sound, and visual storytelling to build a dynamic foundation for collaboration.
Now, through The Collective Resonance, I bring these diverse skills into harmony with other artists—creating work that blurs boundaries, amplifies shared expression,

POETRY
Silent on the Solent a cloud on my tongue in the mouth of the River Medina

On This Small Green Patch / Dracaena cinnabari
At night grass breathing with Memory of sunlight Waves of passing hi-beams Exposing day dreams Highlight tiny en masse heart Swelling adoration for Beloved Dragon’s Blood tree Ancient alchemic allies Clearing clouded skies Emerald blade upon blade Singing praises & lullabies Time erases untold mysteries Yet In this dark night moment Spring to life’s small Ecstasies Blood red echoed between Plant and human Photo taken Photons unified Urgency awaken to pathways Ache and rise up
Moment to moment colours changing House to house light shifting Summonsing dragon scales of sunset glint
Windows Double glazed Unfazed
Bobbing headed pigeons amazed to be gobbled up like pixelated pick n mix in one steady bite of Night
Rooftop to rooftop ridgedback reflections Daydream to dusk inhalations Merge Talons and teeth submerge suburbia
Magic

TigerrrrrrrrrrLily
Pushing into my bpm Dilating pupils receiving light Drumming up all kinds of fun Fullness of day into night
Humming in my mind Melodious The baseline pulsing up
Through green stems Dendrites dance Sinuous and scented
I like your vibe
Gather in
Roots soaking up a love tribe Minerals Nutrients Elements
Together we are terra firma Enriched Touching the sky

The Minotaur
“With the arguable exception of the blood-crazed harpies or Keres tearing souls and body parts from the dying — they make Wagner’s Valkyries look like Girl Guides — Stephen Langridge’s production, designed by Alison Chitty, is as sure-footed as ever.” -Barry Millington, Evening Standard
As one of the 7 ‘Keres’ in Harrison Birtwistle’s The Minotaur for the Royal Opera Libretto by David Harsent Directed by Stephen Langridge Conductor Antonio Pappano in 2008 Ryan Wigglesworth in 2013
