LISTEN; CAN YOU HEAR THE FISH CRY?
Embodied Audio Stories around the impact of Climate Crisis on women in Banago, Negros Occidental, the Philippines
A new project for 2024. I am delighted to have been awarded the Connected Through Culture British Council Grant – collaborating with artists from the Philppines to create 4 new audio stories; exploring how we can tell stories through embodied audio performance and connect international audiences sharing experiences and movements simultaneously. I am super excited to be working with Binhi Creatives – an art school that I helped set-up 20 years ago, alongside Edmund Bacia and Jet Divinigracia.

The Newtown Wishlist
Lead Artist. Commissioned by Trinity Community Arts and Arts Council England.
Working closely with Newtown Residents – a ‘hard to reach’ area in Bristol, we created a series of events in response to the ‘What I want to see, What I want to be’ project – a collection of ‘wishes’ from the community and surrounding areas.
From coffee morning to door-knocking, we created a weekly lantern making group, a Newtown Playlist – celebrating the diversity of the community with songs chosen by the community – with over 60 songs from many different cultures, a community painting, and culminating in a community lantern parade with musicians dotted around the community playing songs from the playlist.
