Research Catalogue

I am currently a Senior Lecturer and the course leader for Drama & Performance at the University of Portsmouth in the School of Media and Performing Arts.  I am a practice-based scholar whose research interests include immersive performance practices, live art, practice-as-research, performance documentation and cognitive approaches to reception theory. I am the artistic director of Vertical Exchange Performance Collective, co-artistic director of KeepHouse Performance and an Associate Artist at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth. I have collaborated with venues such as The Barbican in Plymouth, Camden People’s Theatre, The Basement in Brighton, Performing Arts Centre Lincoln, the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth and Battersea Arts Centre. Since completing my PhD at the University of Winchester in 2011 I have been concerned with exploring, making and understanding work that includes its audiences in fundamental ways.
