Wales is a community of communities that celebrates its difference. In celebrating that difference, we must also respect the differences of others. My devolutionary texts are warnings, that with freedom we do not replicate the logic of deference.
I personally went through a period of confusion around the climate crisis because the discourse around it used to be quite singularly around end of the world, whereas my sense was that there was something much more personal, philosophical, ethical, and present than an imminent doom…
I hope to leave audiences with an acute awareness of their individual and collective power. I hope the theatre I make helps people feel alive. In order to get there, I think audiences need to be radically welcomed. They need to feel like they belong and have a vital role to play.
Symbiosis is a source of inspiration, as a way of rethinking planetary life, sociability, knowledge, mutual help, relationships, care, community, all of it in order to stimulate a world where diversity and multiplicity can thrive.
Crisis is all we know. We live our whole lives in the context of escalating planetary transformation, and the ground we stand on has never been steady. Theatre is what I do, it’s how I choose to live my life, but the crisis is the air I breathe…

Storytelling from the perspective of ice, or a stone, a tree, a branch, a ray of light, for me is such an intense way to build a relationship with the Earth. And language becoming a thing that doesn’t separate us from the natural world, but a way of entangling us in its system of exchanges.
The emotion driving my work has changed several times throughout my practice, initially, it used to be healing, and even at some point reconciliation. Now I think it’s more a desire to share, to spark curiosity, and start a conversation about the natural world.
STATE Studio collaborated with One Resilient Earth around the thought-provoking work of Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, ‘Designing for the sixth extinction’, as part of Hypertopia, an exhibition and decentralized program held in Berlin, from October to December 2020.
What I see in the community of generative artists – that I am part of – is a great direction of what I wish the general art world would be like. In my experience, artists in this field tend to be very open-minded, helpful and gladly share their experiments and tricks…
