“Plasticine Park is a collection of works that explore the space between body and screen.

All the pieces in the show have grown from discussions between myself and the visual artists to find a relationship between our work which makes it relevant to another medium.

In each piece a transformation is taking place. This change occurs not only as the subject of the work, but as a shift between dance and the projected image which makes one a function of the other.

For me these works make up a performed exhibition of contemporary interactions which deal with changes in our environment, our relationships, our bodies and our biology. Working with these artists and designers has expanded and in some cases contracted my notion of dance, creating a situation which compels the ‘naturalness’ of the human form to contend with the flat, artificial surface of the projected image.

The screen is a seductive force and in many ways this is a provocative relationship, one that has possibilities to produce a new language to further articulate our immersion in screen culture.

This work has been hugely rewarding for me, due to the generosity and immense creative input of the dancers, artists, designers and technicians involved. “
