Since completing my Masters in Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2008, rigorous enquiry has underpinned my creative practice. My work spans artistic research, Jewish text study and performance, looking at identity, memory, embodiment and belonging through both scholarship and making.

​

A pivotal moment in my intellectual journey came in 2018 when I attended the Asylum Arts retreat in Garrison, New York. The experience deepened my engagement with contemporary Jewish creative practice and continues to inform my work today.

​

My writing has appeared most recently in Confluences 11 (UCT). I have also presented research and performance lectures at conferences and festivals including Limmud South Africa. My research explores dance and embodied practice as sites for investigating memory, identity and Jewishness.

​

Alongside academic writing and conference presentations, I regularly write and present original Divrei Torah for Beis Clef, a Jewish community I co-founded. Here, ancient Jewish text come into conversation with contemporary South African life, the arts and social justice.

​

For me, research is not separate from making. It is another way of uncovering stories, asking questions and creating spaces for dialogue.

​

Below are examples of this work in practice: a reflection on Parashat Mishpatim exploring justice, accountability and repair in contemporary Johannesburg 2025; a Beis Clef service in which Jewish thought is woven into music and ritual 2025; and a performance lecture presented at Limmud South Africa in 2017.
