Professional Development Grant funded by the Canada Council for the Arts

February 2020 to June, 2021, with Deanna Peters with a focus on Improvisation.

In this project which spanned the pandemic, I worked on my own and with Deanna to explore different aspects of improvisation and the physical archive of my body from twenty + years of training.

The project culminated with a day of filming in June, 2021 at 45W studio in Vancouver with the wonderful videographer Gemma Crowe  to document our findings and add a new layer to improvisation, working with the camera’s gaze.

I loved this project which gave me a whole new insight into how and why I move, and an endless toolbox for working with improvisation in the future.
