We showed it at Saddler's Wells Theater a few years ago. You can see excerpts of it online here:
(please ignore the 26 hour traveling/jet lagged photos they have of me)

We'll be touring it in other countries and working on a NY premiere.
I work a lot with the elderly and disabled and most recently War Torture survivors who have been able to overcome their trauma through movement therapy. Definitely my most challenging gig yet but I find this kind of work to be very rewarding and it keeps me humble. It also allows me the opportunity to work with bands and musicians, makeup artists (I'm working with Bjork's!),and artists I love.
I don't want to get ahead of myself but I have a meeting with the TATE Modern about doing a live installation in their main hall. Let's keep our fingers crossed as I'm meeting the curator soon.
thanks for your interest and keep DANCING!
