– IMPROFUSION – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE – CoLAB FESTIVAL 2015
Last month (Feb) I completed the collaboration with Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music & Dance as CoLab Festival 2015 Visual Artist-in-Residence – directing an improvisational fusion of automatic drawing with the conservatoires contemporary dance and jazz / classical music students.
Apart from the great and humbling experience of working such a dynamic, hardworking, professionally focused and extremely talented group of contemporary dance and music students – the week long residency of leading and working with pure improvisation was empowering, inspirational, liberating, open and profoundly insightful for all artists involved. It was also extremely enjoyable!
Sincere and profound thanks to all the IMPROFUSION students, Martin Speake, Simon Purcell, Joe Townsend and to all the inspiring CoLab team at Trinity Laban for this great opportunity.

This work has only been presented during Lent within major historic medieval period cathedrals and churches within the UK.
