I make work to better understand my bodies relationship to the environment, both physically and not. i ask why alot, compulsively reflecting on meaning and the contemporary lived experience. i am very interested in pop culture as a capitalist phenomena.

i create atmospheres and invite the audience to inhabit them with me. i utilise the low tech, the everyday, and the as found as methods of making. i approach projects looking for shortcuts and expediency in executing tasks. making like this in amman is necessary, challenging and rewarding.

as a citizen of a former british mandate who has received a British education and lived in London for a long time I have considered seriously and unseriously how this has shaped my aesthetic sensibilities and artistic values.

dance is solving problems with the body. i do this mainly through my alterego jawaherxx0, a colonized body in performance.
