I have created and produced several works of my own, including being commissioned to create a work in Cyprus with MITRA Dance Theatre Company. I also teach one on one or group choreographic workshops, most recently this was to lead a workshop for Middlesex University. I have also worked as a movement director for dancers and non dancers. I have especially enjoyed creating work for 22 member feminist choir, GAGGLE, which involved staging them at ‘WOW: Women of the World’ festival at the Southbank Centre. I am also a performer myself; appearing in my own work and on other projects.

What drives me as a creative maker is the audience experience, my work is based in dance and movement, it is theatrical and has a good sense of humour. It has been described as surreal and playful, I generally like to knock down the fourth wall, to allow the audience to have a more tangible experience. The themes and movement are often rooted in personal experience, influenced by the cultural aspects of being a Ukrainian - Irish woman living in London. I’m interested in meta-modernism and enjoy collaborating with a team, investigating our shared collective experience versus our individualism. I try not to make statements but allow the space in between, the question and the answer to be stretched in to a narrative for the audience to play in.

My latest work is called ‘PIGS’, a black comedy dance-theatre exploration of power, revolt and sexuality - and sentient pigs. Mixing dance, live art, sci-fi and a stripper pole, it is an immersive piece with the audience choosing their position within the power-play, only to find themselves undermined, empowered or confused. You are invited to experience the sexy, the awkward, the comical - or a cocktail of all three. Music has been created by Mr. Squishy and voice-overs recorded by David Quantick and Richard Herring and script by Geoff Deane.

PIGS premieres on Saturday 14 September 2019 at Jacksons Lane Theatre, we look forward to seeing you at the show!
