Since 2019 I have provided live music for Daisy Sanders' expansive dance lifework, A Resting Mess. This large-scale, immersive performance installation hosts an ensemble of performers that explore human and planetary fatigue and focuses on healing through its exploration of chaos, care, community and climate crisis. In this piece I play mostly electroacoustic percussion, leaning into the core concepts of the work (rest and mess) to inform ways of improvising on the drum kit.
The piece has so far been presented in partnership with PICA (Boorloo), Dunedin Dream Brokerage (Ĺtepoti), Hothouse Theatre Company (All Saints College, Boorloo) and Winter Nights Festival (The Blue Room Theatre, Boorloo).
