With an 9-month old baby, I crept back into work in April, working as choreographer on Lyra Young Company’s new production. We are working with the young people to create their first film, devising through screens from our homes with the intention of discovering their experience of the pandemic and their hopes for the future.

Much of the material was inspired by, created and filmed in the performers’ homes and as lockdown restrictions began to ease, we were able to realise our ambitions of collective outdoor scenes and came together for an intensive weekend in July filming in Craigmillar Castle Park.

We were blessed with beautiful weather and it was so wonderful to get back to working in-person, with my new person at my side. I look forward to sharing this work in the near future.
