As a direct response of Christina working with many inspiring children at the Edinburgh Royal Sick Children’s Hospital, the vision for her first work “Glimpsing Air Pockets” has been sparked. She is currently creating an immersive, interactive dance theatre piece, which will reflect back the children’s personal contributions to them, their siblings and parents, as members of the audience within the final performance.
