Audrey has worked with directors like Ivo Van Hove and Simone Stone, operating cameras live onstage in front of an audience. Live projection from an actors POV has intrigued audiences across the world. Audrey’s experience as both a performer and filmmaker led her to work in this niche. Most recently, Audrey created her own work that took onstage camera operating to a new level, using herself as a dancer with a camera, a participant, not just a voyuer.

Utilizing what she learned about live video and multimedia performance performing in West Side Story on Broadway and at the Metropolitan Opera, Audrey is creating a new dance piece that investigates the relationship between performer and camera in front of a live audience.
Using the body of the camera operator as not just a voyeur but a participating performer, Audrey’s skills as a dancer and camera operator help to find new and interesting ways to experiment with live video performance.
