“i’m haunting you now” (2018) was a 45-minute solo performance that formed part of my thesis for the Masters in Solo / Dance / Authorship program at the University of the Arts Berlin. the work explored themes of coloniality, silence, presence and haunting through song, dance and text.

a thirteen minute film formed part of the performance and was projected onto black curtains across the stage. you can watch the film here. after the performance accompanying the piece, was a small booklet handed out to the audience with more context and insight into the work.
