'Residual Matter'- Theatre Noise
I joined Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, as a lecturer in BA Theatre Practice in 2007. I came to the University from a Fine Art background, having studied sculpture and collaborated in installation, film and performance. I enjoy exploring projects that blur the lines of sculpture, sound and performance.
I have several years of teaching experience at undergraduate level, and a portfolio of installation art, public art, community arts and commercial prop-making. Whilst in my academic role at RCSSD, I continue to undertake freelance commercial contracts and collaborative fine art research projects.
My ongoing research enquiry 'Aurality of Objects' explores objects and materials in terms of their socio-political contexts and production processes. I maintain a studio/workshop in Deptford, London.
As a freelance practitioner in the arts I have worked extensively both here in the UK and internationally, in Russia, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Sri Lanka and throughout Europe.
