Improvisation
I use improvisation as the core principle of my practice. I often improvise with found objects, creating sound out of what is around, as well as musical instruments. I also improvise with stage lighting for improvised dance and theatre. Along with Jamie McCarthy, we hold semi-regular improvisation jams for musicians, dancers, actors and anyone at Tripspace.
