Barnaby O’Rorke is an interdisciplinary artist working in the
fields of theater, music, and dance for the past 30 years in
Europe. His physical training in dance, improvisation,
somatic practices, yoga and chi kung have informed his work in
music (cello, piano, voice, objects). He has worked for several
dance companies as a dancer and musician, and has developed
innovative solo and collaborative work in his field. He has
produced five albums, and his musical compositions for dance
film have been screened internationally. He has regularly
performed interdisciplinary solo works called The Musical Pie
Kino, taught improvisation, and created music for contemporary
dance in Berlin. Alongside this work he has been a careworker
which he considers one of the most important things he has
done.(barnabytree.com)

Works, where are you? Invitations and shared
practices, a Zoom Ecamm performance in which each
iteration features improvisation with live and recorded material.
