"My first introduction to The Print Room was doing the play, '4000 Miles' by Amy Herzog which was directed by James Dacre. I was upstairs in The Print Room's lovely art gallery one day looking at some wonderful photos of Hubert's piece FLOW.
Admiring the photos and thinking how brilliant it looked, I happened to mention my dance background to Anda Winters and my long held desire to be involved in a piece of dance theatre. She introduced me to Hubert. We met for a coffee at Tate Britain and found that we have a lot of shared experience and are touched and influenced by the same artists and we became very excited to work together.
The subject was fire and after a number of conversations we planned a three-day workshop to bounce some ideas. I used some of my writing, a song, a poem, a few memories, some recurring dreams. Dance is a passion and from my beginnings defined me so it was wonderful to be able to work with the dancers and together explore and invent movement with words. Hubert's vision is inspiring! The subject is exciting!
It's thrilling to be creating something entirely new, entirely original and working with people so passionate about art. It's liberating too. And for me the excitement of the project, the combination of the young with the older is touching, interesting, stimulating, sexy!"
