During the Ricerca residency I hope to develop my research into the ways in which both speculative fiction and performance scores have the potential to build temporary worlds, spaces for the unknown to play out. I am currently busy thinking, dancing and writing with wetlands, the choreographic potential of scent and the entangled relationship between humans and more-than-humans. Wetlands have caught hold of me for the strange things they do with time. Fertile edge-lands of mud and water.
