A Kind of Freedom
Live performance
Aberdeen Art Gallery, April 2026

I worked with Fusion Youth Dance Company, and their artistic director Laura Booth, to develop a dance performance.

Departing from Roads to the Harbour, by William Littlejohn, and entangled with stories of the Herring Girls, this work considers how young people move and gather in public space, and the stories we tell of young people historically and presently, whilst speculating on future narratives. This performance took place at Aberdeen Art Gallery as part of Living Archive.

Thanks to Jill de Fresnes, Citymoves Dance Agency and Laura Booth. Biggest thanks to Fusion Youth Dance Company!

The Living Archive was part of the public programme celebrating Gray's School of Art: 140 years - Never Make a Head Bigger than a Melon at Aberdeen Art Gallery.
