NEWS
In October 2021 I gave a talk at the annual symposium of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre.
The COVID-19 pandemic also interfered with my plans. I'm still planning some new projects, except that this is not a good time for making plans. I'll post updates here whenever available.
The Oxford Handbook of Improvisation in Dance edited by Vida L. Midgelow is out in print! It includes a chapter by me. It is a groundbreaking publication that finally puts dance improvisation on the map as an area worthy of theoretical reflection and inquiry in its own right.
The special edition of French magazine Sport & Vie (No. 49, December 2018), "La Danse, comme on n'en parle jamais", includes an interview with me. The entire issue is well worth reading. So, if you speak French, get yourself a copy before it's out of stock. You can order it online.

I was delighted to discover that the full run of legendary graphic design magazine Emigre is available online for free. It brought back a lot of memories and gave me the same jolt of inspiration as when I first discovered the magazine as a student.
