I am a performer, writer and researcher exploring the relationship between technique and identity, situated approaches to performance-making, and the decolonisation of performing arts training. I’m interested in performance as research-oriented reenactment - as intervention into social forms, in search of new ways of being together.
I have worked with artists including Ragnar Kjartansson, Anne Carson, and Louis Andriessen, and with institutions including the Trussardi Foundation (IT) and Dutch National Opera (NL). I have made performance work for festivals including Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), Amsterdam Fringe Festival (NL), Xarkis Festival (CY) and Cycle Music and Art Festival (IS). My album Abundance was released to wide acclaim and international radio play, and I have published poetry and prose in numerous literary journals. I hold a master’s in English literature and completed a practice-based PhD in music performance. My work has been funded by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Arts Council England, Reykjavik City Council, Nordic Culture Fund, Cyprus Cultural Services and the Cyprus Youth Board, among others.
