I have toured and performed internationally as a core member of multi-media theatre company Imitating the Dog, and have also performed and made work with Blast Theory, Plane Performance, DNA, Hauser, Small Change.
Areas of Research
My research is currently diversifying into PaR (practice as research). I'm currently exploring the ways in which solo screen actors can utilise the artistic and technological 'limitations' available to them to create industry facing content for marketing and PR purposes.
I've published in areas related to the politics of participatory art, (the subject of my PhD thesis) Immersive theatre, Democratisation, Theatricality, Interdisciplinary/Contemporary performance, experimental television aesthetics, interdisciplinarity
