Helen is a dance artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As someone with a visual impairment Helen is curious as to how her experience of interacting with the world around her may differ from others. It is this curiosity of the margins, and telling untold stories that intrigues her and often finds voice in her work. Helen creates and produces her own work including ‘Collecting Moments’, (commissioned by University of Atypical) performed at Bounce, 2021 and ‘Inside The Speaker’ (created from an  Unlimited commission’, performed at The Belfast Children’s Festival 2020, CQAF, 2018 and Bounce 2017. As well as creating her own performance work, she regularly collaborates with many Belfast based arts organisations to devise and deliver performance-based projects. One such organisation is Open Arts, where she is currently the choreographer for Luminous Soul, a contemporary dance company for dancers with disabilities.

Charys Wilson – Half Light

The work is inspired in part by the practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku: a Japanese tradition of spending quiet, mindful time among trees. Research shows that this kind of intentional time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and even boost the immune system.
For many of us this kind of immersive experience can feel out of reach, especially during the colder months or in urban environments. This installation is a way to bring some of those benefits indoors: a moment of calm, light, and quiet connection.

The boats’ delicate frameworks echo the human skeleton—structures that support yet fracture, heal, and hold history. This duality invites viewers to contemplate how displacement shapes the body and psyche alike.
