The Museum of Local History is an ambitious performance platform that involves a collection of events held in cultural & heritage sites. The process consists of interpreting historical anecdotes & movement research in selected landscapes to inspire rigorous physical responses from performers that result in abstract movement and imagery that resonants with Place. 'The Museum of Local History' offers audiences a deeply immersive, intimate journey at locations chosen as uniquely regional.

Scott's Hut is an immersive, site-specific performance project in collaboration with dancer, Olivia McPherson in 2020.
Made for an intimate audience to view at dawn, it utilises the natural lighting & ambience of the site, a rudimentary shelter in Bournda National Park, that was crafted by Thomas Scott in 1890 for his family of twelve.
