about

This is a piece I hold close to my heart, as it comes with a backstory about a large part of my life that, sometime ago, I cautiously decided to move away from. Created for a narrative dance concept by choreographer Joanne Morris, this music was one piece to a greater picture; a culmination of music, prop design, dance choreography, acting, preparation and performance, to deliver a story; a ship crew sailing out to sea, finding themselves caught in a storm, losing a crew member to turbulent waters, and eventually finding hope of refuge upon seeing the revolving light from a lighthouse. Various art forms found an intersection to create a beautiful feat on stage; a powerful manifestation of this story told by the dancers choreographed to embody both the ship crew and the water.

After growing up as a dancer I was eventually lead away from it to a different and forefront passion; music. I find deeply enriching, opportunities to interact with people in a meaningful way, and share with both artist and audience in creation and revelation of art. This music was a role in such an entity, taking part in the creative experience of artists on and off the stage, and the reciprocal experience within the audience of the performance. Having the opportunity to see two spheres of my life meet brought an already treasured and memorable experience to a place of personal value. Thank-you, Joanne, for inviting me along your artistic journey, and I look forward to what our collaborations may bring in the future. This is ‘Life Is But A Dream’.
