Moving bodies

I experiment with movement in live performances, which I record only when I finish with an idea.
My most ambitious work to date, and still in progress, is a series of performative dances to songs from a range of musical traditions and styles.
The still below is from ‘Allsouls’: a dance to R. Strauss’s, Allerseelen. The choreography uses elements of male strip routines to explore the song’s main theme, death-transcending love-desire, from the perspective of the dead beloved who calls out his lover from the grave. The performance is intended to be both sad and funny, but also a direct response to the unabashed quality of the music.
The second still is from another series, in which different repetitive movements are used to illustrate the five virtues; the still is from 'Diligence'.
