Excited to share some of the initial findings from my PhD research - examining how neuronormativity influences ideas of truth and authenticity and how this impacts students with differences in emotional processing and communication!

Getting back into things today after a very fulfilling few days in Graz for International Platform for Performer Training — presenting some of my research and discussing ethical and discursive pedagogy

Excited to be co-convening this Stanislavsky and Neurodiversity symposium this May! We’d love to hear from actors/students/directors/acting tutors who are ND in any way :) Full call for contributions in multiple formats available here:

Spent today enjoying the intersections conference at Central — sharing some of my research and kicking off working with MA actor training students on their performing research unit this term!

last day of work for the year is consisting of interviewing acting tutors about their practice for PhD; writing about clowning and doing dissertation supervisions with students - feeling very satisfied to get to delve into so many interesting conversations! (and excited to do nothing until January…)

A couple of pictures from Wednesdays sharing of the film made by RAH creatives participants this year (hoping to be able to share the film publicly soon!)

so struck with gratitude to get to spend so much of my time leading work about neurodivergent experience and creativity in various contexts 💜
