Terri completed her Masters degree with a focus on both Directing and Applied Theatre. She is passionate about the ways in which drama can be used in education and how theatre can move from the stage into different spaces to elicit change. Terri worked in various capacities within education before lecturing as well as working on several projects for the Western Cape Education Department. In her teacher-training workshops, she explores the benefit of drama as a cross-curricular teaching methodology. She has co-authored a series of Creative Arts textbooks for the new CAPS syllabus and has worked in community development and training as well as in theatre management. She has published in Research-in-Drama-Education (RiDE) and assisted in the organisation of the ITYARN conference that was held in Cape Town in 2017.
