I am the Director of the Centre for Theatre, Dance & Performance Studies (CTDPS) at the University of Cape Town where I am an Associate Professor. I am also the Artistic Director of The Mothertongue Project women's arts collective, an Associate Teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework® and the Fitzmaurice Institute's Regional Co-ordinator for Africa. My teaching profile centres around practical and academic courses which include voice, acting, theatre-making, applied theatre, and performance analysis. I am especially interested in interdisciplinary modes of creating. My research explores the body as a site for generating images for the purpose of performance making and specifically focuses on investigating the relationship between breath and emotion, and breath and image, in an attempt to make performance that is inspired by a biography of the body. As co-founder and Artistic Director of The Mothertongue Project women’s arts collective, I have experience in the field of theatre and performance in South Africa and the globe. I am an experienced teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the higher education and NGO sectors. Skilled as a Teacher, Voice Coach, Researcher, and Performance-Maker. I am a committed education professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) focused on Theatre & Performance making from the University of Cape Town. My particular interests are in embodied practices that focus on presencing, co-sensing, co-llaborating and co-generating as a way of transforming egosystems to ecosystems.
