Geoffrey’s Corpse is the rearrangement of a body.
My aim was to convert my living body into an impossibly specific relic, and then wear that relic as a fashionable accessory.
The tender attention to detail required by this process became addictive to the point where, having depleted my own resources, I was compelled to extend this act of devotion to the bodies of my friends.
For the first time, I have decided to publicly present my process.

Premier season Arts House, North Melbourne Town Hall in Next Wave Festival 2016
Have some aspiration! Someone needs to act as steward for the potency of dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb reality. Could you be that sensitive?
Dance, text, costumes, music, robots, lighting, metaphors, ideas and other theatrical traditions face off against each other either for or against the service of clarifying their own mission. Camel is a herotic effort to get to the heart of the matter, though the subject of the matter remains unclear.

Distraction: TIM COLLINS SPEAKS!
Counihan Gallery, Melbourne, 2017
I saw the genius Tim Collins perform once on a footpath outside of a shopping centre in Melbourne’s CBD. I was trying to think of a way to describe his movement without resorting to the cliché poetry in motion but couldn’t. I was hoping that he could.
But where is this smouldering babe? Where is this Tim Collins- that smouldering babe?

LOVING YOU AD NAUSEAM
Victoria Trades Hall, Melbourne Fringe Festival 2016
It starts with the greatest intent… sliding across the space away from the precisionist. Hoping for the best, drawing the audience and performer closer together. Or more importantly, reducing the size of the space.
Nothing more than a performance that aimed way too high.
But more is needed, which is fine.
