About
I am a composer, cellist and performance artist from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I make embodied composition performances in a variety of forms: from small, intimate happenings to large-scale stage works. My work is often made in collaboration with other artists, children, young people, community members, or its audience.
I also compose music / sound design for theatre, dance & live art, and I perform in other companies work.
