1/ Yesterday it was my delight to perform as part of Emergency 25 at Contact Theatre in Manchester - a brilliant day of contemporary performance art. My huge thanks go to Jeff Kew for his brilliant videos documenting the “Hate Dress” which were screened as part of my performances.

When the UK left the EU, we lost valuable opportunities for youth.
YEM are campaigning to ensure we restore the opportunities we once had. We are launching our open call for artists to submit their vision for a united future for European youth. More info & apply:
