ARTIST
Juggling has been at the centre of my work for many years, but my approach has always been informed by my background in theatre and performance. I’m interested in juggling not simply as a skill , but as a form of artistic expression. Artistry isn’t something separate from juggling, it is a part of how I think about what juggling is and how it can be communicated.
BREATHE
Breathe is a short performance that is a more personal and contemplative piece of work showcasing table juggling. It was developed from my experience of being admitted to an intensive are unit after suffering a major asthma attack. The work reflects on recovery and the role that my juggling played in that process. Through movement ,rhythm and repitition it considers the relationship between breath, physical energy and the act of learning to approach my practice in a different way. It represents a different side of my craft where juggling becomes a means of expressing and communicating personal experience rather than simply entertaining an audience.
