'Nobody' is based on my experience of growing up in a Welsh-speaking community, where English wasn't part of everyday life until I was 19. It tells a personal story about language, identity, and the invisible cultural threads that shape us. A reminder that everyone's background deserves to be seen and heard.

Originally choreographed and performed as an outdoor piece, Living Shadows has been reimagined for indoor performance spaces.

This work explores the realities of homelessness, confronting themes of displacement, disenfranchisement, and communion.
