A performance event in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham City Centre utilising the BBC Big Screen. The performance involved linking visual images on the screen to live percussion instruments and digital rhythm instruments. The action on the percussion was translated to the visual image to which dancers improvised in response. The work explored relationships between rhythm and visual image. Performed October 2005. The references under pinning this piece were the concepts of Gabriel Roth's 5Rhythms - a movement meditation practice.

Move-meant

This drawing was created live over four days through August 2012 and is part of an ongoing series titled 'Limits'. begun in 2011 at the Folkestone Triennial Fringe Festival. The process was to stand on the paper and draw using both feet, overall the drawing took around 12 hours. The fun part was meeting the locals in the hustle and bustle of the market nearby and in some cases creating portraits of them as they looked down at the work. The work was video documented.
