This is her first introductory workshop to the creative methodology that she has used to create many of the media performance with Kimatica.

Organiser Art in Flux
Organiser of "BE-MORPH" A collaborative media-performance workshop
FLUX is a forum hosted by artists to discuss strategies, processes and collective themes within the media arts. FLUX is a fluid platform committed to the ever-changing needs of media artists working right NOW in the UK and will remain in a dynamic state of change in order to facilitate them.
Currently FLUX hosts two different events which are a response to the needs of our associated artists. We hold quarterly talks events which are curated by one of the hosts and facilitate the exchange of ideas, as media artists come together to profile their work. Hosted at the Dalston Boys Club these larger events offer a space for the exchange of creativity, inspiration and support. Between these larger events smaller groups meet monthly at special artist studio visits which are social events for artists to meet and talk creatively about their ideas and projects.
