I have been involved in circus for two decades. I rolled into youth circus as a young child and afterwards, having graduated from ACAPA, jumped into the professional circus world. I consider myself to be part of a movement that researches and questions contemporary circus practice. Other practices within this movement inspire me to bring different viewpoints to my work.
At TENT, I will be holding a research week in collaboration with fellow artist Maria Madeira. In our research The Limited Encounters, we look for communication tools within a specific framework. Physical limitations are explored and a language created, on stage, these encounter one another using this newly developed language. In addition to this, I will take up the position of Maker for two years, which will allow me to explore my makership. The title of this research, What Remains, is my way of framing a search for ideas and things that endure. From this, the question is addressed of what could the future practice of circus look like? With this question in mind, I will create mini-performances based on the findings.
