Night at the Theatre with Tim Casson and Stopgap Dance

It's a show about three unlikely characters (Hannah Sampson, Nadenh Poan and Connor Quill) accidentally stumbling into…

Imbalance with Joli Vyann
It’s no surprise that Joli Vyann’s new show Imbalance got a standing ovation at its premiere. I was super excited after they first asked me to do their sound design.

Inspired by Richard Tuttle's 'I Don't Know' we created a piece…

Set in the Henry Moore room, fabric costumes transformed members of the public into living and…
In Ghent with Platform-K
