Collaborations

And Who’s She When She’s At Home? is a collaborative multimedia poetry installation based on themes of heritage, home, and class. Stemming from various family history discoveries and layers of coincidence within them, personal stories are combined with stories from previous generations to create a living and breathing record of history with contemporary relevance.

The first stage of this project, supported by an Unlimited Research and Development Award, culminated in the creation of a film illustrating the progress so far.

AISLE is an animated film poem with a vocal soundscape, which explores the disabled experience of lockdown. Set in a supermarket, the film asks its audience to consider everyday acts of ableism.

AISLE was created with support from Creative Scotland, Unlimited, BBC Arts, and The Space, as part of the Culture in Quarantine strand on BBC iPlayer.

A musical poem inspired by the Old Man of Storr, created in collaboration with Lord of the Isles for Skye Live Festival 2021.

This contemporary re-imagining of an Ancient Greek myth, told in the languages of poetry, music, and dance, is a story about consequences and their potentially immeasurable reach.

Athena doesn’t understand how powerful she truly is, and Tiresias doesn’t understand how his actions might affect others. One brief moment that passes between the two characters blows both these truths open. What Athena Saw When Tiresias Looked retells the Ancient Greek myth with contemporary relevance, exploring issues around consent, disability, and gender expectations.

The film, directed by Douglas Tyrrell Bunge, weaves poetry with an atmospheric soundtrack from Lord of the Isles, and the work of dancers Anu Walters and Douglas Reddan, to create a dynamic account of two young people bound together by their shame, and their mistakes.

What Athena Saw When Tiresias Looked was commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists, with funding from Creative Scotland. The film had a preview showing at The British Museum’s Hidden/Revealed event, and was premiered on Glasgow Tramway’s Tramway TV channel in February 2021.

A reflective record that touches on themes related to climate change, created in collaboration with Lord of the Isles and released on London-based label AD-93.

A collaboration created in isolation, Parts of the Day explores the feelings of confusion and listlessness experienced in the early stages of lockdown.
