2023 - 2024

   

Sarah is increasingly interested in work that combines performance, installation, writing and film. In 2022 she worked with composer James Keane & film-maker Charlie Doherty to present her three film installations: Merry Andra, Larmes de Clown; Grief, End o' Aw Days & PHENOMENON #1 & #2 - exhibited in scratch form (as part of her ongoing project experiments in emotion) at the Open House strand of Brighton Fringe. Sarah is currently  focusing on moving image, performance and poetry. In March 2024 Sarah won a DYCP grant from the Arts Council of Great Britain to develop her work as a film-maker. In May 2024, Sarah showed her (almost) completed seven piece film installation MERRY ANDRA, Larmes de Clown: KNAG in the Open House strand of the Brighton Festival again, in which she also shared a new poem CRACK... and tar (as part of a scratch performance and) which is currently being made into a perfomance film installionation. As part of the experiments in emotion project, Sarah is also creating pret-a-porter sculptures, exploring prevailing themes of sorrow, grief and rage and how they manifest in 3 dimensions.

    After years of collaboration and as her children move into late teens, Sarah re-establishes sole authorship of her work. 

Sarah was born in Dundee, Scotland. She trained at Chelsea School of Art (sculpture) and Ecole International de Theatre Jacque Lecoq in Paris. She has worked extensively in theatre, both movement and text based, as well as creating installation performance works. Between 2015-2017 Sarah performed her solo show THE RED CHAIR, directed by Suzy Willson and music by Paul Clark, with Clod Ensemble.  The dramatic text of The Red Chair is published by Bloomsbury Methuen. The Red Chair is an award-winning solo show directed by Suzy Willson with music by Paul Clark.
