For my performances I integrate live performance with projected video and music. My performance work involves myself performing in front of a screen, interacting with the images that are being projected onto the screen and my live self. These are time-based pieces, where images are carefully placed on the screen in reference to where I am standing as the live performer, so that there is a direct interaction with the projected and the “real”, creating the illusion that everything is happening “live”. 

To further play with the illusion of the “real” and “unreal”, the “live” self and the projected self, my image is projected onto the screen, mimicking the “real” person standing in front of the screen. I play a number of different characters as part of my performance, all of who will also be seen on the screen and interact with one another.
