Her practice-based works explore human-environment synergies through material intra-actions.
Grants include leadership of the AHRC 'Dancing Otherwise' network and participation in Ecotones. She advises PhD students and collaborates internationally, co-authoring works with scholars like Amanda Bayley and Melanie Kloetzel.
Her work bridges choreography, ecology, and critical theory, with projects like A Holding Space (2021) and Dance Site and Body (2018) exemplifying interdisciplinary engagement with environmental and spatial themes.
