Similarly, every parent knows that one day the little child they are dose to will grow and begin to separate from them. But what happens when a child separates so completely that even when with you they are unable to communicate or move. Frozen Girl is Kathryn Evans story, first told in 2014 during storytelling workshops, when she revealed that between the ages of 11 and 13 she did not speak or move. Kathryn's story and the way she told it with her small intricate facial expressions and her unhurried physicality was so powerful that I and members of the ensemble wanted to explore it further with her."

  Reads, in part "A movement-based performance installation with video art, sound art and a series of mirror-booths. Taking phantom-limb sensation as a “body-mirage”, and inspired by the work of neurologist V. Ramachandran, Mirage plays on perceptual illusion, the construction of hybrid forms, and the real and virtual fusing and separating.
