Lecturing

Have been invited to develop and teach a new course at Buckinghamsphire New University entitled "Events and Audiences". 

The course will invite students to think outside the box, utilising the social sphere as a place of engagement and encounter, taking into consideration who is the potential audience and what may be the message to communicate.

Also teaching "Devising Practice" at Royal Holloway. Similiar to the class I taught last year at Brunel University, though with a more theory-based foundation.
