About

I am the Head of the School of Design, Management and Technical Arts at Rose Bruford College. My research interests include the performative nature of stage lighting, digital scenography and digital performance, the history of theatre lighting, and the roles and status of the various personnel involved in theatre-making.

I have recently completed my PhD, entitled “Repositioning the Role of the Lighting Artist in Live Theatre Performance”. In it, I seek to use digital control technologies and a revised creative process to make lighting a more performative component of theatre performance. (Director of Studies: Professor Susan Melrose, Middlesex University.)

I am an Associate Editor for the International Journal of Performance Arts & Digital Media. (www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=120/)

I am External Examiner for BA (Hons) Theatre Practice at Central School of Speech and Drama, and for BA (Hons) Technical Theatre at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore.

You can see some of my publications and conference presentations in the section 'Papers' on the left.
