Manifesto

“Within my arts practice I search for new ways to understand, engage with and experience my audience, my body, my self, my environment and space.

I feel the increasing need for human connection and through my work I attempt to create situations that open up the possibility for, sometimes brief but, meaningful moments of intimacy between ‘performer’ and ‘audience’.

I am concerned with the psychosomatic, the interrelationship between body and mind. My arts practice is an ongoing exploration of my ‘self’; body, mind, identity, and consciousness, and is heavily influenced by my Journey with Yoga and meditation”

“…Stannard is, despite her young age, already an artist of genuine stature whose work makes living poetry out of what she sees around her…”
