Arboreal - Living in trees Inspired by the Crocach Crannah reforestation project (North Coast of Scotland) and Italo Calvino's evocative work The baron in the trees. It is a live performance focusing on the ways trees define a landscape and a community by their presence and their absence, and the way in which people carry landscapes within their hearts.

Fata Morgana - Vision of the sky walkers Commissioned for 5 short performances by the European Arts Festival in Lincoln, and developed into a full show in 1993, during a residency at On the Move Dance Festival, Dumfries/Galloway - Scotland. Fata Morgana is an artistic hybrid, a crossover of the world of theatre, circus and dance, a stunning exploration of visual theatre around the theme of mirage.

Syzygy - Dance of forbidden colours. A symbolic ritual, drawing from myths and legends from different cultures expressed through a visual language combining stilts dance, acrobatic balance and trapeze skills with elements of visual theatre and dance.

Ballet-tico Fantastico - A comic parody of the ballet "Swan Lake" of Tchaikovsky, entirely performed on stilts, combining different dance styles with movement, physical theatre and comedy.

Encounters - Commissioned by the Greenwich & Docklands Festival – a huge theatrical banquet for cultural diversity taking place at Elizabeth I’s Tudor palace, now the contemporary home of Greenwich University.
