About my work
I’ve been moving between physical theatre and live art trying to build a bridge. I don’t think my work can be confined within theatrical boundaries and the only suitable frame I can find is live art. I tend to site-specific work and I am very interested in nature.
I’ve toured professionally as an actress in Spain and Portugal as a member of a company devising our “gender focused” pieces. At the same time I’ve created dance and live art solo work indoors and outdoors. My last theatre performance has been “The Theatre of Forgotten Scenes” directed by Anna Furse performed at the George Wood Theatre at Goldsmiths College. London. “In Between” is my last solo piece, a live art piece performed at Goldsmiths’gardens.
