To date I've produced six very different cloudswing pieces, three as part of my degree with Circus Space (2008, 2009), one in collaboration with writer Vickie Donoghue and director Rob Watt for Circus Space scratch night (2009) and two for Circus Gerbola (2010, 2011) with whom I've been touring for the past two seasons. Now I intend to draw on the experience I've gained both in the creation and performance of circus for the production of a new more ambitious cloudswing piece. I hope to have a draft version ready by easter and a 'finished' article for the end of the summer season.

Naturally my interests aren't limited to cloudswing. For Circus Gerbola I've also performed a comedy trampoline piece and this year a silks violin piece for which I had the very enjoyable chance to work with Fidget Feet. Together we began exploring how aerial silks, music, movement and story can compliment each other; with the tour finished I'm ready to continue the development of this act. Also, stemming from voice work opportunities I had at Circus Space, my role at Circus Gerbola has included Ring Mistress. This has allowed a substantial development in my voice, compering, character and improvisational skills; mostly due to being part of several audience interactive gags with the Clown. 

       Teaching is another interest. My astrophyscis background has provided options to teach maths and physics and now I've begun trampoline and circus coaching. A future goal is to successfully mix circus with science for performative and educational purposes.
