Residency Project

As a cellist and performing artist, much of my creative and performance practice is site-specific, exploring intersections between place and sound. I also seek to bring audiences closer to an environment through performance. In residency at the CNSC, I intend to create an installment of my ongoing performance project Music for Spaces unique to the place – created for and influenced by the community and region. The residency would culminate with a live performance or series of performances presented for the community at the CNSC as well as the wider Churchill community.
