I am a 'cellist, improvisor, composer, theatre maker and teacher living in the UK.

I experiment with approaches to playing the ‘Cello using improvisation as a way to explore sound, music and performance. I play with a range of groups and projects in the UK and Europe. And I collaborate with performers and artists who work in mediums including theatre, performance, dance, storytelling and film. I also co-run a devising visual theatre company - The Ding Foundation. I do these things to find ways of bringing the bewildering experience of being human into some kind of focus. Through paying attention to real experiences, structures of time, stories, silence, senses and working closely with people.

I find it curious the need to share with audiences, to be assessed and appreciated. Sometimes what I'm doing doesn't need that. Sometimes it does. I could describe my activity as a continual movement between imagination and experience to situations and performance, if I'm very lucky something special can happen!
