This page is dedicated to a selection of works that I have been involved in creating and performing.
I also work frequently as a sound designer and composer for theatre and dance works. More on that here.

Engar Flatkökur í Erfidrykkjunni // Eulogy Live - Sigríður Eir Zophoníasardóttir

First presented at Tjarnabío, Reykjavík 2022.

Sigga Eir wanted to have a heart to heart conversation with her mother before it was too late but had never been able to make that happen in real life.

That is until she asked her to help with a school project. She's very supportive of her education. So now they meet on stage and try to figure out what they can and can’t talk about. They don’t want to talk about cancer or death but maybe it’s a good time to plan the funeral?

Next show is on the 6th of April! Tickets here.

When the Bleeding Stops - Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir

First presented at Borgarleikhúsið, Reykjavík 2021.

As a woman in her early forties, dancer and choreographer Lovísa Ósk Gunnarsdóttir has become fascinated by menopause and middle-aged women. In her new performance work “When the Bleeding Stops”, she addresses the excruciating silence and taboo that seems to engulf this topic in Western society.  

Working with a group of extraordinary middle-aged women from across Icelandic society, “When the Bleeding Stops” invites audiences into a world of vulnerability, shame, empathy and humour. Transporting us into the privacy of their homes, the work dives deep into the many layers of the female experience associated with menopause and invites us to laugh, cry and celebrate with these women. 

The most recent edition of this work just finished at the Rosendal Teater in Trondheim, Norway: WTBS Rosendal.

Unheimlich - Katt Osborne and Tarryn Gill

Presented at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts 2021.

*Nominated for Best mainstage production, Outstanding new work, Outstanding direction of a mainstage production, Outstanding sound design, Outstanding lighting design and Outstanding stage design at the 2022 West Australian Performing Arts Awards.

Conjuring fantastical creatures and imagery from the dark recesses of the human mind, Unheimlich is a new performance work by director Kathryn Osborne and multidisciplinary artist Tarryn Gill.

The work is an exploration of distorted human forms that build a surreal world where the subconscious mind can be explored. Humans are gradually removed from the work and a nightmarish landscape where their feelings and desires that are part of human experience can be examined and personified.

Unheimlich draws inspiration from the current popularity of animation within pop-culture - creating an environment where complex psychological and philosophical ideas can be explored. Animation as a form gives the viewer enough distance from the ‘real’ world to create space for the audience to be more deeply affected than they might otherwise have been.

Yonder - Emma Fishwick

In development at the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia 2016 - 2020.

YONDER is a new dance work in development that layers movement, live sound & live sculpture to explore the contradictions that arise from the conflation of gender & environment. Featuring 7 leading WA-based dance & contemporary artists at State Theatre Centre of WA,

YONDER utilises multiple live layers & the unique Australian landscape as an access point to note & shifts ideas of gender & ecology, how they sit within our urgent global converations. With a highly-experienced intergenerational female cast (Sue Peacock, Shona Erskine, Isabella Stone & Storm Helmore), live sound (Brett Smith) & a growing floral sculpture (Bruce McKiven) that slowly takes over the stage, YONDER looks to past norms & current conversations to consider our future landscapes.

Exposure - Alicia Luz Rodríguez

First presented at the LHÍ Black Box Theatre, Reykjavík 2020

Exposure is the result of a research that started as a series of encounters between Alicia and an automatic photo booth. After a year of experiments and explorations, the work takes the shape of a solo stage performance that deals with a vulnerability and loneliness that lives deep within me.  

This work might be biographic. Or not.

The man and the moon - Variegated Productions

First presented at the Blue Room Theatre as part of Perth Fringeworld 2016.

Lunacy or total eclipse of the heart? Either way it’s a hell of a love story.
When a Man realises he’s living a life stuck in outer-middle suburbia, sometimes the best response is to head out and see where the evening tides take you.

The Man and the Moon is theatrical solo cabaret show starring St John Cowcher. Smoky jazz, lamenting lyrics, evocative storytelling and a man falling in love with the wrong celestial body.
