Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go
An algorithm for dancing with the planet
An algorithm for dancing with your beloved
And algorithm for dancing from enoughness
Between A River and Lightning
A response to a prompt to make a “speculative choreography” for 50 years into the future by Dancemakers Centre for Creation and FADO Performance Centre in Toronto, this choreography exists as an archive of a conversation between me and the AI agent Claude. It lives as a website designed by Mike St Jean.
The Territory Between Us
In 2018 I began a conversation with Wuikinuxw/Klahoose artist Bracken Hanuse Corlett, which led to a long, slow dance with a mask. This is the story, which is still emerging.
Other works
Talking in Terinai
Marion D’Cruz taught me the Terinai more than 30 years ago. On this night, overlooking the much-changed Kuala Lumpur skyline, in a one-take film, we danced the time passed between then and now.
Justine and I follow spirals in and around ourselves on the beach.
I made an album!

The Things I Carry
Solo performance.
I dance, sing and tell stories about moving bodies, moving water and our recording devices.

Dance Machine
Installation.
64 pieces of bamboo are suspended from a central copper disk and can be moved independently by host artists and visitors to create an immersive experience. Performances happen but nobody knows when or by whom.

The Talking, Thinking, Dancing Body
Conversation
Talking and thinking the dancing body without ignoring the world it is in.
