| Introduction |
This page shows collaborative and solo work using the media of film,
video and live performances. I have been a jazz percussionist since
1984 and have performed, choreographed and taught Jazz-funk and
Contemporary dance in various capacities since 1982. As an artist
my aim is to find the physical and psychological connections through
which dance and music can ‘converse’ with architecture
and experience a total synthesis of forms. I find the film media
is most suited to this kind of ‘dialogue’ and creative
fusion. I also enjoy the spontaneity and energy flow of improvisation.
