Sound design

Dramaturgical sound for theatre, dance, film and hybrid performance — shaped around story, space, bodies and the live moment. Recording You Can Call Me Francis around 2011 opened up a lasting interest in contemporary dance and its creative possibilities.

Hear My HandsOriginal music and sound design with choreographer Karen Gleeson. In the early concept piece, rhythms came from Morse-code translations of messages contributed by Deaf collaborators. Recorded voices were cut up and reordered to uncover new meanings. This live excerpt documents that early work at Mermaid Arts Centre.
