Erin has also co-created and performed music for performance artist Katherine Duncanson’s Fossil, dancer Yvonne Ng’s Brocaded Clouds, and in dancer/choreographer Peter Chin’s creations, NECK and, most recently, Tulmiskat for dancer Denise Fujiwara’s show ‘Brief Incarnations’.
She is also a member of East Coast improvising group, Suddenly Listen, and Toronto based electro-acoustic percussion quintet JERK. She has performed as a percussionist with groups such as the Canadian Opera Company and the Hamilton Philharmonic, and Gamelan Toronto. She will be performing at the 2002 Sound Symposium in Newfoundland. Erin performs on many instruments from classical percussion instruments to Indonesian gamelan, glass harmonica and piano. Her most recent acquisition is John Little’s sound sculpture "Sagromides of Venus" a six foot tall iron percussion instrument in a human form.
