Tell us about a dream you've had.

 

Many of my dreams are situated in apocalypse’s end of the world survival scenarios, recently the end of the world arrived at my house in my rural village, the street lamps were lit unnaturally bright, my mum vigilantly wrapped my dog in cling film and sent her outdoors, I begged her not too my dog melted into an oozing pile of green goo I was quite smug and said I told you so, my mum was wailing in mourning.

​​​​What is your biggest influence on your practice?

​

Ritualistic behaviors and belief systems, researching the folklore of early pagan ritual sacrifice, exhausting dances, a profound sense of the divine. Historical ritual oddities, such as bloodletting, witch hunting, maypole dancing. Alongside modern rituals that we invoke to legitimize our contemporary identities birthdays, wedding days ect. I have recently been interested in linking ideas of ritual to queerness considering how drawing upon and forming collective rituals may help forge community, when traditional ritual forms have suffered from being largely heteronormative and exclusionary. I have worked on inventing my own queer rituals in my performance practice.
