Heather's adventurous style generates an accessible dancefilm experience which has been well received by artists and audiences alike. Her work has been shown in a range of venues, spaces and contexts including museums, colleges, cinemas and theatres.

Heather has recently received funding from Arts Council England to support the development of a new work. Created through a series of labs throughout 2012, State of Flux will bring together a poet, set designer, theatre director, digital artist and animator to develop a new multidisciplinary work that promises to push the boundaries of what theatre can be. The work will go into production in early 2013 and will premiere at DanceEast Ipswich on 8^th/9^th February 2013.
