After dancing professionally in Europe and New Zealand, Claudia completed an MA/ Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1998 and taught on the BA/ Fine Art until 2002. She has been teaching on the Dance and Visual Arts Course at the University of Brighton since October 2003 and is doing a MPhil at the Royal College of Art. Working with live performance and time-based media Claudia employs silent gestures and movements of the everyday in order to perform absurd repetitions and impossible tasks. Constructed as ritualistic activity or repetitive loops the works challenge one system by creating another, disturbing established patterns and displacing the conventional.
