I have been teaching in tertiary education for over 20 years in subjects such as Theatre Studies, English and Performing Arts. I have also directed a number of productions in my role and have my own children’s theatre company called kidz theatre workshop.
Since my undergraduate degree I have been working and researching in the area of applied theatre and drama. My Masters piqued my interest in theatre anthropology, focusing on the work of Eugenio Barba and Odin Teatret, whom I was able to meet and work with briefly in 2009. My dissertation for my MA was on the ‘Presentation of Self in Everyday Life’ referencing amongst others, Victor Turner, Richard Schechner and Eugenio Barba.
