Ham being ‘the bull’ from the Darlaston Dog Fight, Arena Theatre, 2018

Repetoire

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. 

Recent titles include ‘Last Act’ performed as part of the Birmingham Literature Festival; ‘Marina’ a solo devised and performed at The Southbank Centre for the Poetry International Festival; and ‘Beyond Words‘, a dance piece combining contemporary movement with sign language, performed as part of The Birmingham Weekender Festival 2017. Helen has been awarded support by Arts Council England on three other major dance & theatre projects, including ‘The Dog Fight’ showcased at The Arena Theatre in March 2018. She is currently working as choreographer with Midland’s Actor’s Theatre on a site-specific production ‘Descent’ (2021).
