SCREENDANCE
This page gathers together material available on the other pages of my website to create a round image of my profile in the field of screendance, a hybrid art form that in my practice embraces narrative film, experimental video and animation, screened dance, VR technology and an expanded understanding of the screen as a surface that projects and displays the moving-image.
