I have been based in London since 1994 and in the Drama Department at Queen Mary University of London since 2004. I am a former Head of Department and currently Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes in Drama. My research interests are in the cultural politics of contemporary theatre, performance and art. I am interested in feminism and performance, performance and the city, cultural policy and arts funding, and the relationships of art and performance to social justice and neoliberal capitalism.
