Collaborations
Wingless A School Performance Project at the Cambridge Primary School, New Delhi, India, January-February 2013
This project is an initiative of Katkatha Puppet Arts Trust. As part of my residency with the company I was able to contribute to this project which involved 120 students between the ages of 10-14 exploring Dance, Theatre, and Puppetry. These are images from the Shadow Puppet making group, who created images for an overhead projector.

The House of Forsaken Gods
Produced by In the House Festival and Chris Murdoch- October 2012
Pandora is dead. Her demons live on. A haunted house of mythic proportions.
Journey through a haunted house like no other where you'll experience the torrid and terrifying lives of the gods and goddesses, heroes and heroines, monsters and demons of Greek Mythology. From the lofty peak of Mt. Olympus to the dreary depths of the Underworld, fear and enchantment, horror and charm, beauty and dread lie in wait for you.
During the hour-long performance, breathtaking visual artistry and stunning live performances including aerial circus, prop manipulation, theatre, puppetry, physical comedy and music will make your heart pound with fear, excitement and wonder. The macabre and the outrageous, the evil and the hilarious, heart-wrenching beauty and soul-stirring madness will all come together for an evening of unavoidable mirth.
Habitat: A Community Performance Project
A community engaged performance at Kensington Community Centre. Artists Julia Carr (contemporary dancer), Meghan Goodman (contemporary dancer) and Maggie Winston (puppet theatre artist) worked with members of the community to create a site specific performance on the theme of "What makes a healthy habitat?" Featuring an interactive tour of the Community Centre with murals, puppets, hawaiian dance, giant inflatable sea goddesses, and a Water Dragon that dances in the pool.
The final performance was on Sunday June 3rd, 2012 from 2:30-4:30pm.

So, they banded together with the mission to inspire children everywhere to the mystery and magic of the natural world. Members of the Shiny Collective are the award-nominated children’s entertainers Gogo Bonkers, the award winning Lost and Found Puppet Company, The Ta Daa Lady, and Juno award winning children’s entertainer, Peter Puffin.

We embarked on a quixotic journey to create a theatre piece with our cast of 30 some odd collaborators. The piece we presented to you is an allegory crafted to explore how it is that we perpetrate injustice in our world: it is only when we cease to see our neighbours, no longer hear their voices, that we can justify committing acts of inhumanity toward them. No matter where we look, the source of that myopia is always the same, fear – fear of others, and fear of ourselves. In the face of fear, we offer you one word – listen.
