Lynne has continued her improvisation practice for over 30 years and has studied it in various settings including Butoh and Body Weather. She has utilised it to generate material for set works for theatre and dance, as well as a performance mode in it’s own right.

She currently continues her investigation of improvisation by experiencing it in the context of trance under the teaching of Tony Yap.
Site and Sound
(15 mins) – performance
Site and Sound is formed by the spontaneous relationship between the artist and music and place. Each time these elements come together, they compose a work that can never be repeated.
