SOZO Visions in Motion School of Dance, Kassel : Postgraduate Research Studios
Visiting Module Co-Leader : Encapsulating Practice : Creative documentation & portfolio building, February 2018, December 2019, November 2021
Working alongside Fenia Kotsopoulou I co-design and deliver a week-long intensive module in post-graduate performance-research looking at documentation, portfolio, and dissemination. With reference to contemporary-practice we examined relevant examples of how artists can both enhance their work through photography and videography, and also market their practice online and in-print. As well as educating and inspiring the course is human-centred with a clear focus on enabling and empowering the students to develop an holistic approach to creating engaging bodies-of-work, through mindful composition and delivery across a range of disciplines they wouldn't normally consider to be within their grasp of ownership in their roles as dance-and-performing researchers. Ongoing mentorship in-practice is also available to the researchers as part of the offering.

ArtEZ, University of the Arts : Master of Theatre Practices
Visiting Module Co-Leader (with Fenia Kotsopoulou) : Documenting, Archiving, Publishing, February / July 2019
Working with a small group of post-graduate theatre practitioners to look at what it means in the context of practice to go public. An intensive week spent examining the nature and practice of documentation as a creative form, with reference to contemporary practitioners in the fields of live-art, video-performance, dance, and interactives. From private to online, we explore the role of the archive, and modalities of documentation and publishing which help situate the performer/student in relation to their field(s).

University of Lincoln, School of Fine & Performing Arts : MA/MFA Choreographing Live Art
Visiting Module Leader : Advanced Somatic Practice : Technology & BioArt, February 2014 & April 2015
Working with a small group of post-graduate dance and performance artists to interrogate technological and digital approaches to broadening their practice, I twice lead this intensive module looking at photography, videography, interactive-systems, digital-design and bio-inspired methods. Over the course of a week, students worked toward delivering a gallery-style solo show incorporating relevant techniques in the contexts of their developing practices, and were guided through the often complex production-patterns inherent in working with a range of technologies from paper-based through video & audio, to live electronics and interactives.

The Professors, Sheffield : Performance for Camera & Alternative video techniques, 2017 and onwards.
Visiting Artist, working with a group of adults with learning-disabilities to explore alternative approaches to performance and image-making. Using a combination of infinite-white-space and interactive slitscan video techniques to look at both close-up and stage-based performance where concepts of time, and space become a more fluid narrative than the normative expecation-driven outlook on ability, performativity, interaction, and time. Their work coagulated around performance-for-camera, live-drawing and expressive-movement sessions introducing and using higher-level concepts to empower alternative viewpoints and creative expression, outside of the everyday formal narratives of dealing with "time" and "space".

Lincoln University Technical College : Level 3 Computer Games Design : Everything you think you know about colour ... is wrong, September 2016
Visiting Artist, introducing concepts of colour, colour-space, and combinatory approaches to both additive and subtractive domains in considering applied colour in production. Students were given a whistle-stop tour of some of the lesser-known ideas around what constitutes colour, and how our experience of colour is informed by technology, by society, and by evolution. Students were introduced to a selection of cut-out models of colour-spaces with an emphasis on tangible navigation of the concept of colour as space.

University of Lincoln, BA Music, Level Two : Joint-show : Composer as Artist, Artist as Composer, 2018, 2019
Visiting Artist, highlighting the intersectionality of the roles of "Composer" and "Artist" in the context of collaborative practice in public performance and delivery. With reference to many of the artists I've worked with & for, this two-hour presentation covers many aspects of what it means to compose, and what constitutes "music" and "sound" when the viewpoint is expanded to a broader perspective of "Art". From development & handling of technologies, to interventional work, stereo-and-radio to large-scale surround-sound; the function of this presentation is to broaden horizons and encourage experimentation, failure, and self-redefinition of what it means to be a musician, producer, composer, or performer, in a world where inter-disciplinary practice is increasingly valued, and non-traditional forms, including visual-work are encompassed by the term 'music'.
