I am a Fine Art Graduate whose practice explores the relationship between the body, costume, light and the camera. I explore these themes through live and video performance art, because of this I am confident working in Adobe Premier Pro and InDesign. During my time at university, I have undertaken research into the history of queer performance which has aided my creative exploration. Through drag and making, my work aims to create a space which allows societal rules to be warped. I explore the boundaries of expression, creating a place to explore identity, movement and play.

 

The performer is seen centre shot squated down, hands behind their ankles, with their feet in bright yellow box heels pointed in opposite directions, they wear striped tights and an oversized collarless white shirt, their hair is scruffy with one curl on their forehead, with rosy cheeks, dark eyes and red round lips they stare into the camera.

A key success of my time studying at Norwich University of the Arts is a movement workshop I conducted. This opportunity increased my ability to support and guide a collection of people with different experiences, boundaries and abilities. It showcased my understanding of performance technique and ability to create pieces of performance in groups in addition to my solo practice.
