My work predominantly focuses on the intersections between theatre, literature, visual art, film, music and dance, especially during the early to mid twentieth century. I am particularly interested in reassessing British theatre history through the lens of interdisciplinarity and the modernist avant-garde. The live intervention of the human body is central to my studies and unites my work on modernism with my investigations in contemporary performance, particularly in the professional wrestling ring and on the modern rock stage.
I am the author of two monographs (British Avant-Garde Performance and Modernist and Avant-Garde Performance: an introduction), co-editor of Performance and Professional Wrestling, and have published in numerous journals including Modernist Cultures, Comparative Drama, Theatre Survey, Modern Drama and New Theatre Quarterly. I particularly enjoy presenting my work at conferences across the world including, most recently, in Boston, New Orleans, Seattle, Las Vegas, Pasadena and Rennes.
I am committed to making academia more accessible, whether through my termly teaching commitments, my publications or through engagement with the media.
