MASTERCLASS

Projected Media Installation/Performance

ARTIST STATEMENT

As a child actor I had the great privilege to work with many great artists and be in many amazing theatre productions. From Shakespeare to Samuel Beckett, from community centre basements to weird empty office spaces, to performing alongside Bill Irwin, one of the greatest clowns to ever live, my work and media practice draws from my past experiences and opens a window into the unique world of performance art.

MASTERCLASS is a love letter to all the weird, wacky and wonderful people I have the pleasure to share the stage with.
