Collaborative projects
I use my skills as a lighting designer and dramaturg to collaborate with dancers and contemporary performance makers in creating original performance works. Along with freelance projects I'm often employed as a Creative Collaborator at the School of Performing Arts, VCA, Melbourne, to work with the Postgraduate Choreographers and Aminateurs in the realisation of their performance projects.
