Sylvia deftly blends theatre and performance art. She encourages her audience to interact playfully with elements of video, audio, new technologies, animals (imagined and real) and fragments of dance. Consciousness, memory, imagination and our connectivity with the natural world are recurring areas of interest, coupled with personal experiences. She collaborates with specialists from fields including Neuroscience, Mathematics, Psychology and from various communities, culminating in entertaining and thought-provoking performances. Her work has been presented throughout the UK, including the British Council Showcase at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London’s Barbican Centre in SPILL Festival, and internationally in Europe and Australia (Proximity Festival Perth; Sydney Festival).
