Helen’s choreographic practice is rooted in the cross-art form of poetry and dance, and the internal links between text, voice and movement. She also works within varied genres and techniques, blending styles and playing  with new vocabulary.  Space, and how we bleed in and out of it within line and form, is also central to her work,  as are contrasts between utter stillness, and spirited explosions of powerful movement. 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.
