Helen’s choreographic practice is rooted in the conversation between text and movement, bringing together the non-verbal power of dance, with the music and inspiration of words. She also enjoys combining a variety genres and techniques, blending styles, and playing  with new movement vocabulary.

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’
