In Her Hands, with Rosi Lalor

Photos taken by Olivia Morgan.
​In December 2011, I collaborated with my friend singer/songwriter Rosi Lalor on the half-an-hour piece “In Her Hands”, a poetic coming-of-age tale to music and song. After a strange encounter with a mountain goat, a young woman embarks on a journey of self discovery and learns that she must take her destiny into her own hands. The puppet heads are carved from avocado stones. In this piece I wanted to use materials that were slightly more organic, and to experiment with lending parts of my own body (ie. hands and fingers) for the puppets’ bodies.

This piece was also performed alongside other smaller collaborative pieces in February 2012 in "Dreams from a Winter Garden" at The Brunswick in Hove, and then in "Dreams from a Spring Garden" in April 2012 at the Black Dove, Brighton.
