Workshops

My workshops are part of my practice. They are spaces where I test what I'm researching through performance and moving image: how cognition exceeds the individual human subject, and what happens when we use movement, voice, and collective attention to tune into forms of perception that aren't only ours.

Each format draws on different traditions — Butoh-informed movement, improvisational scores, guttural voice, constellation dynamics, the crosspoints between somatic, street, and codified dance languages. What connects them is a shared interest in the body as antenna: working in proximity, through technique and image, to access forms of perception that aren't available alone.

SWAN SKIN, Workshop, Stück, London, April 12th, 2026

A workshop in flesh, harness and slow attention

Swans are not graceful. They are territorial, prehistoric, and profoundly strange. Creatures that move between worlds, neither fully air nor water, their surfaces concealing enormous muscular force.

This workshop takes the swan not as a symbol of beauty but as a figure of erotic intelligence: the body that knows through texture, pressure, weight, and proximity.

Drawing on Butoh-inspired practice, guided somatic meditation, and the formal language of kink as a technology of attention, Swan Skins invites participants into a shared field of slow, curious movement.

We will work with breath, image, and touch-threshold – the edge where contact becomes information, where restraint opens rather than closes.

Participants are encouraged to bring any harness they own - equestrian, bondage, bespoke or improvised. Attachable latex straps and carabiners will be provided, and the concrete architecture of the space is treated not as a limitation but as a collaborator: weight-bearing, cool, indifferent - a surface that holds.

THROAT, LONDON PERFORMANCE STUDIOS, 13.-14. May, 2026

The throat connects downward, to the gut, the diaphragm, the pelvis, and outward, into the room, toward other bodies, toward whatever else is present. This workshop takes that anatomical fact seriously as a choreographic proposition.

Across two connected but independent workshops, participants work with guttural voice, breath, and movement as technologies of attention. Patterns of power, hierarchy, and desire already present in dance training and choreographic process are brought into explicit, slow attention. Boundaries are treated as meeting points, not walls.

We will encounter the other in a way that invites them to inhabit their own subjectivity, whether that other is human or not.

The first session (Weds 13 May) works purely with voice, breath, and movement. Drawing from Butoh, Qi Gong, and somatic practice, the work moves into interior state research and collective score-making, playing with contradiction: how the complexity of multiple, inconsistent selves can become material rather than problem.

The second session (Thurs 14 May) introduces BDSM as an additional technique, a precision instrument for working at the edge of sensation, permission, and trust. A no is as valued as a yes.

No previous experience is required. The sessions will include some discussions and readings, as well as a short break and time to wind down at the end of the session.

Both sessions centre consent and care as the actual substance of the work.
