My artistic vision and interest centre on immersive experiences that foster deep engagement and a sense of shared presence through collaborative creation, performance, and production—a process exemplified in the selected videos, where I was involved as a co-creator, maker, performer, and producer.  

My work prioritises accessible and safe sensory-rich environments that seek to collapse the boundaries and divisions, all still too common, between artist, performers and audience or more accurately 'participants'  who truly ARE, in that moment, co-creators.

This transmedia project envisions a series of immersive, participatory, and accessible performances for D/deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent participants, as well as those navigating multilingual, displaced, or culturally complex identities.

Each performance centres on a sensory-rich banquet, where participants explore belonging through food, language, and co-created story-making. These events are designed to foster reflection, connection, and new visions for inclusive, divergent futures.

The project is currently in an R&D phase, where these ideas are being tested and refined through a pilot process supported by a focus group. This includes a small-scale sensory banquet — a serving of sample Welsh bouillabaisse — and the development of a participatory framework titled Bridging Connections.

A Serving of Welsh Bouillabaisse, the proposed inaugural performance, draws on my Marseillais heritage and personal experience: my mother’s bouillabaisse was a centrepiece of our family gatherings until Alzheimer’s ended that tradition. This work brings together explorations of rupture and repair — from generational migration to neurodivergence, from post-Brexit belonging to queer and trans kinship.

The performance will culminate in a celebratory French-Welsh “wedding disco” — a joyful reimagining of cultural union and radical hospitality.
