This project has been on slow boil for me for several years. I have struggled to contextualise my research within the contemporary dance or theatre worlds but do feel that this project has been finally seeded in suitably fertile ground within the cultural laboratory of foam. I enjoyed a couple of successful collaborations with Nik Gaffney in Adelaide in the late 90's and with this project it seemed like the right time to pick up the collaborative thread. My husband Matt also collaborated with Nik in the past and was looking forward to participating in the residency in Croatia along with four year old Miranda. However, when state funding fell through, the family had to ecomimise and decided that Florence and I would travel to Europe and Matt and Miranda would contribute to the project remotely via daily skype meetings and email. | This project has been on slow boil for me for several years.

Foam founders and collaborators Nik Gaffney and Maja Kumonovic, not only contributed creative ideas but picked up the ‘hard to do with a baby in your arms’ tasks like note taking and documenting. I am not sure what I would have done without any of them. | ||
