Commissioned work by First Movement, for the launch of their new and pioneering Arts venue, the Level Centre.  First Movement are a company promoting opportunities for learning disabled people to become involved in arts and creative projects, developing new opportunities that are built around specific groups

Lichen is a site-related audio and visual light projection installation, involving Spiral (First Movements performance company) within the entire production process (as the performers within the video and the dance performers within the live installation performance). Lichen challenges the way in which we observe the moving human body, constantly shifting the audiences perception of reality, between the interplay of shadow, virtual, the live and the abstracted body.
