"Entangled Labours is a work for video and sound examining the politics, ethics (and poetics) of collaborating with, and transcribing my working-class father’s impromptu guitar improvisations (offerings I am deeply thankful for) and arranging these for an art-music ensemble."

Ensemble Offspring's Hatched Academy Composer Summer School featured six unique new compositional voices from around Australia, mentored by Artistic Director Claire Edwardes alongside Melbourne-based composer Kate Neal, core Ensemble Offspring musicians and guests.
