About
Concerned with built and natural spaces my practice considers human impact on our environment and vice versa.
I create immersive multi-disciplinary experiences which guide audiences through real and imaginary worlds.
Originally trained in the performing arts I have built a repertoire that encompasses installation, film, sound and participatory elements to strengthen the scope for innovative audience engagement. Inspired by experimental performance art practices that came to prominence in the 1960s, more recently I have been influenced by the immersive performances of companies such as Punchdrunk and Marshmallow Laser Feast. Similarly I am motivated by artists such as Olafur Eliasson who constructs built environments that cross over between performance and the visual arts through active audience participation.
Post Dining
Between the years of 2012-2014 I lived in Edinburgh, UK, participating in independent arts curation and was introduced to the concept of Food and Eating design. On returning home to Kaurna Country in 2015 I co-founded creative production company Post Dining with Dietitian and Illustrator Hannah Rohrlach.
Post Dining uses food as a tool to interact and playfully disrupt the status quo, exploring the innate connection between people food and the environment through immersive theatre, experimental dining and tailored design. We have since gone on to produce multiple award-winning and sell-out productions collaborating with the Australian String Quartet, MOD., Ernst & Young, Open State Festival, the History Festival of South Australia, Bunjil Place, and the Migration Museum among others.
Freelance
I also work as a freelancer across film and live performance, as Producer, Director, Editor, Videographer, Audio Recordist, and Art Director.
I am currently directing a play for kids about the magic of compost, co-creating a VR experience of kids theatre show Herding Caterpillars, and producing/directing The Fish Bowl - an award-winning immersive theatre production about the lived experience of Dementia in aged care. Alongside this I also accept freelance commissions for corporate and creative filmmaking.
