YEM is an interactive sound and movement performance for kids between the ages of two and a half and six years old.
The collaboration between Mette Møller Overgaard and myself explores the ideas of what home is, was and can be through the mediums of sound, movement and interactive performance.
We take the performance into the classrooms and the shared areas of each institution we visit and adapt to their space. Each performance is unique due to the focus on audience interaction and the ever changing performance spaces.
YEM was initially part of Dansehallerene’s KORA project and is currently touring around Denmark under the guidance of the Tiny Dancer theatre company.
Yem has been funded in by Statens Kunstfond and Nordea Fonden.

Yem means home in my native Geordie dialect and is pronounced the same as the Danish word for home; hjem.
