I am Co-director of the Centre for Performance Innovation and Evaluation at the University of Lincoln’s School of Performing Arts. As well as developing site-based performance work in Lincolnshire (which includes a healthy mix of walking outputs) I’m Programme Leader for the new M.A. in Advanced Performance Practice (launches September, 2013) which will specialise in contemporary performance and located practices to professional standards.
Since my exposure to walking as a practice at Dartington in 1996 I’ve developed an intimate and eclectic portfolio of projects, most enjoyably 2009’s A Hackney 4th of July (in collaboration with Mark Hunter), which restaged the Boston Tea Party in a Hoxton café, launched a yacht in the Regent’s Canal and secured a dedication from the American Ambassador.
I’m currently pursuing a Practice as Research PhD at the University of Aberystwyth which investigates walking, performance and documentation in rural contexts.
