I am a researcher, deviser, teacher, and performer. My practical background in acting, devising, and dance informs my research into the cognitive dimensions of performance. I work at the confluences of movement, acting, actor-training, performance, and 4E cognitive science. I have written about devising, Lecoq pedagogy, theatre and imagination, practice-as-research, enaction, prediction in performance, Edward Gordon Craig, the figure of the actor-creator, and shared heritages of physical theatre and postmodern dance. My recent book, Practice, Research and Cognition in Devised Performance (Bloomsbury Methuen Drama 2025) compares how different research methodologies help us understand the complexities of devising. My 2019 book, Enacting Lecoq: Movement in Theatre, Cognition, and Life (Palgrave Macmillan) puts the cognitive scentific approach of enaction (aka "enactivism") into conversation with the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq. My current project investigates intercultural actor training and cognition, with a special emphasis on Asian intercultural practices. To develop this project, I am currently a Visiting Researcher at Intercultural Theatre Institute (Singapore). I also have an abiding interest in collaboration, both among the arts and between the arts and sciences. I am Director of the International Network for Cognition, Theatre, and Performance (INCTP) and a cofounder of movement-based devising collective, Autopoetics. I received my BA in Theater Studies from Yale University, trained in Lecoq-based pedagogy at the London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA), and earned my Ph.D. in Theatre and Drama from the University of California, San Diego in its joint program with UC Irvine.
