Pibroch Tales (2017)
Two men enter a forest… Fear meets mythical creature and strange happenings ensue.
This solo evokes the ancient art of storytelling, the repeated saga moves from adventure to tale and brushes with legend as it recounts its yarn. Told through chant, their adventures are interlaced with age-old songs they translate with ever-dubious reliability.

People We Didn't Quite Meet (2016)
Where might you see a hat judge, a pregnant elephant, Charlie Chaplin and a cat? Fleeting moments, easily missed, as we pass by. Who are these people we didn't quite meet? This scrapbook of snippets is observation in peripheral vision; a unique journey, revealing glimpses of others, the extraordinary within the ordinary, as our lives briefly intersect.

Most Certainly Well Worth Knowing (2015)
In the everyday we read meaning in each gesture and movement. We follow speech borne along by rhythms. This work explores possibilities when meaning and movement fracture, stumbling over the entertaining and the pleasing within the commonplace, seeking depth in the shallow, replacing the missing, shifting the frame.
