Unnamed (Forthcoming, Performance Artwork - in progress)
Performance artwork developed at The HopBarn, Southwell, UK (funded by Durham University's Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities), exploring the role of rural affect on the tourettic body and embodied rural experiences of Tourette Syndrome. The project draws upon deejay practice and improvised movement.
Performance artwork developed at Dance City, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK (supported by Durham University's Discovery Research Platform for Medical Humanities), exploring the role of urban affect on the tourettic body and embodied urban experiences of Tourette Syndrome. Using improvised movement and tics as a starting point for choreography, the piece pushes back against claims of tourettic bodies lacking in rhythm.
Developing frameworks for anti-ableist academic practice and culture development at the University of Sheffield, funded by a Wellcome Trust Institutional Funding for Research Culture Award at the University of Sheffield, UK.
Performance artwork developed with Bold Mellon Collective. Treading between vulnerable and absurd, two tourettic movers mirror and oppose each other to create a visual foray into the breakdown of identity that coincides with the development of disability. Interacting with body casts and each other to create live art, the two performers find solace and community in connection. In doing so, they redefine the relationship between body, soul and mind
In partnership with the Economic & Social Research Council, Newcastle University, and TIC-Hull & Yorkshire, this doctoral research project implemented focus groups, interviews, and zine-making workshops to explore the embodied experiences of physical and digital public spaces for tourettic adults.
CAFFEINE is a semi-autobiographical and episodic play based on the lived experience of Tourette Syndrome, supported by Ethereal Theatre. This project has been temporarily paused.
