He also operates as curator-for-technology at Critical Path choreographic research centre, hosts Wombat Radio, is a founding member of Style Impressions Krew, Dance Makers Collective and The Pump, as well as associate artist at Legs On The Wall and a friend of The Farm.

M@ is chronically busy with the question “What is what we’re doing, doing?”. 

He collaborates with inspiring artists, in diverse contexts, to interrogate form. 

These projects articulate how we embody systems – social, cultural, political, or technological – and in turn how these systems embody us by forming communities and informing identities. 

That we may get better at living together.


He has also toured internationally, won awards and been awarded grants, residencies and scholarships eg:

The extreme delight of working with Joshua Thomson (The BLOKES Project + Legs On The Wall), Angela Goh (New York and Helsinki tours), The Farm (and prior to that Gavin Webber’s DanceNorth), Davis Freeman, Lisa Wilson @ Sydney Dance Company’s Opera House season, Shaun Parker Company (This Show Is About People & Happy As Larry), Strings Attached, Rimbun Dahun, Dance Makers Collective, Emma Fishwick, Tiffany-&-the-Curls, Style Impressions Krew @ Darwin Festival, Miranda Wheen (multiple shows + residencies at Dance4 and Bundanon Trust), TRACKS Dance Company and Courtney Scheu.

He was a NFSA HipHop artist-in-residence, Legs On The Wall artist-in-residence for ‘OpenSource’, an invited participant at the Ultima Vez Research Lab, and invited speaker at TEDx Darwin on “The Power of movement: It’s affect on our state of being”.
