For me, creating a performance and curating a live programme are two dimensions of the same practice: both organise time, bodies, relations, and shared reality. Across artistic and curatorial contexts, I set up conditions, be it temporal, spatial, sonic, or social, that allow something to unfold, welcoming contingency, interruption, and risk.
Living, Rehearsing...
YDP, London
17 Jan - 22 Mar, 2026
guest curator
Over the course of three months, the programme will invite an ensemble of artists from the fields of visual art, performance art, comedy, dance and sound to convene across four day-to-night events, where improvisation meets choreography. Each participant will offer an interpretation on the concept of ‘rehearsal’ and what it may mean to them, drawing on experiences of migration, contingency, navigating thresholds and channelling collective energies. The gatherings will also test a range of prompts and constraints set to explore different ways for audiences to explore the spaces around each performance, from simultaneous actions across multiple rooms, to moving through the building and experiencing collective resonances.
After the performances, elements of their gestures, sound and images will be remixed into installations and spatial interventions that will remain on view in YDP’s space until 21 March.
