Research interests

‌Dee book1 pic‌

My doctoral research focused on feminism and live art and my commitment to contemporary performance and theatre practices persists. Significant publications include Devising Performance: A Critical History (Palgrave Macmillan 2005), co-authored with Jane Milling, Autobiography and Performance (Palgrave Macmillan 2008), The National Review of Live Art 1979 - 2010: A Personal History - essays, anecdotes, drawings and images (New Moves International 2010), Histories and Practices of Live Art, co-edited with Jennie Klein (Palgrave Macmillan 2012) and It’s All Allowed: The Performances of Adrian Howells, co-edited with Dominic Johnson (Intellect and LADA 2016).

Another enduring interest has been walking aesthetics, with the publication of numerous articles alongside practice-based research (see, for example, Walking, Writing and Performance: Autobiographical Texts, ed. Roberta Mock (Intellect Books 2009) and walks.wordpress.com/, walkinglibraryproject. wordpress.com/, walkinginterconnections.com/) This focus on walking has led to my latest research project, a study of the relationship between forests and performance. My monograph will be part of a new series which I am co-editing with Professor Sally Mackey, Performing Landscapes (Palgrave Macmillan).
