Creative Collaborations
Sisters of the Extreme is a curatorial project I run with Kathryn Siegel focused on women experimental filmmakers and trance, ritual, and the occult. Our first event, showing films by Amy Halpern, Storm de Hirsch, and Betzy Bromberg, was the winning entry of a Projections curatorial open call at Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle. Our second program, Falling Lessons: The Films of Amy Halpern, was presented at Open City Documentary Festival in 2024.
SPECTRAL/OLFACTORY is a projection-based performance lecture I produced in collaboration with Bardo Light Show and SonicSoul. Partly inspired by Brian Eno’s lecture on perfume, it explored the role of synaesthesia across a range of artistic and countercultural practices. Interspersed with readings from personal “sense logs,” the performance was animated by liquid colour projections by Bardo Light Show, concrete mandala imagery by gong practitioner Courtenay Pollock (The Grateful Dead), and an immersive soundscape by sound artist SonicSoul. I also worked with David Bardo on special effects for the short film, At Home with the Boyle Family (Chris de Selincourt and Kim Heaney, 2023).
