For children, invited as active, unpredictable audience, it is a space full of interactive possibility; their interventions inadvertently influencing the story and meaning itself.
They Tuck You Up Your Mum and Dad - a new work about familial interdependency featuring film and live performance - is both a personal response to the thunderbolt of new parenthood, and a desire to connect contemporary art with family life.

They Tuck You Up...
In 2012-13, I worked as producer with artist and filmmaker Rachel Davies who is creating an interactive dance film installation for adults, and children.
They Tuck You Up Your Mum and Dad is a layered, visceral experience exploring control, responsibility, anxiety, and letting go; how patterns of behaviour are mirrored and passed down generations. It is an opportunity for adult audience members to engage meaningfully with art in the company of children.
