Talks, Lectures & Conference Presentations
Alongside my creative practice, I regularly present keynote lectures, invited talks, conference papers and public presentations for universities, galleries, festivals and cultural organisations. These presentations share both completed projects and developing research, exploring walking-performance, applied scenography, landscape, health, embodiment and interdisciplinary creative practice. They provide an important means of disseminating research while creating dialogue across artistic, academic and public contexts.
