As a south-west based disabled artist, my practise sits between the space of digital and live performance. I want to directly challenge categorisation, re-writing notions of what is disabling about being disabled. Shifting perceptions of disability towards positive identity drives my creative work, from the mundane to the theatrical.

My work sits between theatre, performance, dialogue, live art and digital media. I am interested in the flow between performance and space -- a dynamic approach to explore, understand, question and ultimately challenge ‘othering’.

I legitimise my lived experience as a disabled body to create original performance and engage audiences on a human level. Finding commonality through dialogic, relational practises, artists and audiences can come together to tackle hegemony in all its forms.

I invite audiences into arrestive dialogues, laced with humour, discomfort and commonality. Rejecting narratives of ‘pity’, my work has incorporated: physicality, farce, immersion, rage, music/sound/language; planted ‘hecklers’ in performance spaces; malfunctioning AAC devices; self-referential storytelling, presentations of ‘failures’ and vulnerabilities.
