Helen’s choreographic practice is rooted in theatre, and the conversation between text and movement, bringing together the non-verbal power of dance, with the music and inspiration of words. Whether working within contemporary disciplines or live action scenes and fight choreography, attention is always given to a sense of dynamism and flow, all the while searching for new narratives, and body-bound approaches to storytelling. Helen is artistic director of new, dance-theatre company ‘Beyond Words’
