Having previously worked with Kelly Mcilvenny in 2013 it was a great opportunity to collaborate with her again in early 2016. It also enabled me to return to the dance studio to experiment with movement, to improvise, whilst she filmed. I needed Kelly to investigate capturing my body in more detail this time. I was interested in documenting the experiment too, so I installed my Nikon camera on a tripod to record via a timer setting, my movements in the studio.  This continued experimental work is informed by practice-led research methods employing photography and film to record dance improvisation as a response to the eight dancer’s individual motifs. Future projects that result from this initial body of work may provide scope to photograph and film myself further in response to selected dancers. As yet this is an unknown, and I have edited the footage more as experimental work in progress.
