She first ventured into gallery spaces with a solo performance work in the pre-Raphaelite Gallery at Tate Britain in 2002.

Over the past decade, Sarah has created and performed ten major dance works with the company, for venues as diverse as Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Royal Opera House and the Wales Millennium Centre, regularly collaborating with composers, DJs, dancers and visual artists.
