One of my great pleasures, and an entirely new experience was my residency at NCCD as part of their Circus exhibition. My residency was made up of a few elements- performances at the events for the opening and closing of the exhibition, working in the gallery and teaching both public rope workshops and a masterclass for the aerial team based at NCCD. Being in the gallery was a great opportunity for me to spend days immersed in my own practice, working on rope choreography, theatrical ideas and writing that has all fed into performances I've created this year. It was a very new experience to have my work be so public as often there were people in the gallery, sometimes they wanted to chat and sometimes to watch, and I hope it was an interesting experience for them too.
