Biography

My research interests are applied theatre and drama and developing appropriate research methods to evaluate the impact of drama, theatre and performance. My teaching praxis is focused on aspects of research methodologies for undergraduate and postgraduate students, applied theatre and drama, analysis of performance texts, theatre ‘history’, and documentary theatre. I convene the MA Research and MA Applied Theatre programmes and supervise PhD students in cognate areas. Supervision interests include applied theatre and drama, with special interest in health and wellbeing, South African and African theatre, aesthetics and documentary performance. In 2018 I founded the Second Chance Theatre Project in collaboration with NICRO and the Western Cape Dept of Correctional Services, that investigates social reintegration, health and wellbeing through theatre.
