Amazing commision experience this Spring collaborating with professional dancer, Grace Turner, of Turnaround Dance Theatre on The Airthrey Dance Trail Project, a self-guided walk through the beautiful Campus of the University of Stirling. You can watch films of Grace's amazing dance interpretations and listen to six acompanying poems written by me. A very mindful nature experience in a magical setting at https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/art-collection/art-and-artists/airthrey-dance-trail/
