Manoeuvre started out as a collaborative organisation with fellow artists: Dean Brannagan and Gillian Dyson. Our initial aims and objectives being:

'to re-negotiate the given, inflexible and hierarchical institutional system which governs and commissions live activity by artists... to be an innovative, non-profit making organisation seeking to locate critical performance behaviour within the social fabric... to develop works on a bimonthly basis... to be located in its first stages in London... to evade seeking out a given 'audience' in favour of being approached by the viewer...'

Some of these have been maintained and realised, others have diminished in importance. Since 1995 I have developed Manoeuvre less as an organisation and more as a working methodology.
